This book is dedicated with love to my husband, Stephen Poland, who honors me daily with his loving and supportive presence in my life.

Lisa A. Bucki learned about personal computers and software in the trenches at an up-and-coming Indianapolis PR firm in the late 1980s, teaching colleagues to navigate the brave new world of DOS and WordPerfect, as well as showing clients how to create their own publications in PageMaker, one of the first desktop publishing programs. After moving into the computer book and technical writing field in 1991, she edited or managed hundreds of titles on technology topics as diverse as PC basics, operating systems and utilities, memory management, desktop software, desktop publishing, and even random dot stereograms.

She has also written and/or contributed to dozens of computer books (and stopped bothering to count long ago), but notably was the consolidating writer and editor for Microsoft Office 2013 Bible and its prior editions. In addition to book authoring, Bucki has written or collaborated on dozens of multimedia and online tutorials. She has covered a variety of software and technology subjects including Photoshop, FileMaker Pro and Keynote for the Mac, iPhoto, Fireworks and Flash from Macromedia, early versions of Windows, Microsoft Office applications including Project, and digital photography. She has also written software reviews and profiles of online retailers and products for popular online deals site Offers.com, as well as serving as that sites Money Monday blogger for a period. In her consultant and trainer role, Bucki primarily provides instruction in the use of Microsoft Project but has also conducted Word and Excel training courses. In her spare time, she dabbles in creating handmade tile and minds the dogs, the chickens, and the garden along with her husband, Steve, in the wilds of Western North Carolina.

Every book project of this magnitude relies on a team of professionals to transport it from concept to reality. Many thanks to Jim Minatel and to Carol Long, who kept me in their contact lists as a potential resource for this project and others. My deep appreciation extends to Mariann Barsolo and Pete Gaughan, who managed the work both at the 10,000-ft. level and the 100-ft. level, and kept me on track during the challenging patches.

Special thanks go to Kelly Talbot, the development editor who lent his thoughtful commentary about improvements, and technical editor, Dave Johnson, whose careful checks of my work helped find flaws that otherwise might have fallen through the cracks. Editorial team members Rebecca Anderson and Liz Welch played an essential role in enforcing consistency and accelerating the schedule to bring a readable book to you in the fastest timeframe possible.

Welcome to the Microsoft Word 2013 Bible . Like all books in the Bible series, you can expect to find both hands-on tutorials and real-world practical application information, as well as reference and background information that provides a context for what you are learning. This book is a comprehensive resource on Word 2013 (also known as Word 15). By the time you have completed the Microsoft Word 2013 Bible , you will be well prepared to take full advantage of the numerous enhancements in Word 2013.

The update to Word 2013 is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Nice touches, like the move to contextual buttons beside selected objects so you can more easily apply layout and formatting changes, provide even more and better ways to work with document content. Word 2013 also provides more ways to collaborate and share, including ways to make your work environment more portable by sharing to your SkyDrive in the cloud so you spend less time copying files to and from thumb drives and more time working.
