About the Author
Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for over 250 years. He combines his love of writing with his gizmo fascination to create books that are informative, entertaining, and not boring. Having written over 130 titles with 12 million copies in print translated into over 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes seems to work.
Perhaps his most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the worlds fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one bestseller (though, as a reference, it could not be listed on the Times Best Sellers list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dans most popular titles include PCs For Dummies, Word For Dummies , Laptops For Dummies , and Android Phones For Dummies. He also maintains the vast and helpful website www.wambooli.com
.
Dan holds a degree in Communications/Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego. He lives in the Pacific Northwest, where he enjoys spending time with his sons playing video games indoors while they enjoy the gentle woods of Idaho.

The only thing standing between you and your writing is your word processor. Yeah, I know: Its supposed to be helpful. Well, it tries. Computers can do only so much. But you, as a smart person, are capable of so much more. Im guessing thats why you opened this book.
Welcome to Word 2013 For Dummies, which removes the pain from using Microsofts latest, greatest, most confusing word processing software ever! This book is your friendly, informative, and entertaining guide to the routine of processing words that is Word 2013.
Be warned: Im not out to make you love Word. I dont want you to enjoy the program. Use it, yes. Tolerate it, of course. The only promise Im offering is to ease the pain that most people feel from using Microsoft Word. Along the way, I kick Word in the butt, and I hope you enjoy reading about it.
I dont intend for you to read this book from cover to cover. Its not a novel, and if it were, it would be a political space opera with an antihero and a princess fighting elected officials who are in cahoots with a galactic urban renewal development corporation. The ending would be extremely satisfying, but it would be a long novel because I need something on my bookshelf to balance out Atlas Shrugged .
