Résumé

Millions of people around the world use Microsoft Word every day, but few take advantage of everything it has to offer. Most consumers, and even business users, simply stick with the standard toolbars, menus, buttons, and features available straight out of the box. However, if you look under the hood, you will find a powerful and infinitely customizable program.

Word Hacks offers tips and tools for customizing, programming, and automating Word. This book shows you how to:

Work smarter by modifying menus and toolbars, adding sorely needed features, creating custom workspaces, and changing the way you interact with Word
Use advanced formatting tools such as tabs, field codes, and cropmarks to create everything from simple forms to professional documents
Improve your editing efficiency by automating mundane editing chores and adding new, more robust tools
Build faster, friendlier, and more flexible macros that move beyond basic automation tasks
Create PDFs from Word files without purchasing the full version of Adobe Acrobat
Use XML to create, process, and edit Word documents
Control and program Word from Python, Perl, and Ruby, as well as from other Microsoft Office applications
Access Google from within Word and display the results on the Task Pane

Whether you're new to Word or a seasoned pro, Word Hacks will unleash your inner hacker.
