Cover
Using WordPerfect for Windows Special Edition
For WordPerfect 6.1 and 7 for Windows

From the back cover: "Your key to productive and efficient word processing! Que has assembled a team of leading WordPerfect experts to create this comprehensive resource of information, procedures and advice. This is the only book you'll ever need to achieve WordPerfect for Windows success."

I acted as "lead author" on both of these books, writing several chapters (the macro and template chapters, among them), and over-seeing the editorial contributions from other authors. These massive 1,100+ page tomes cover just about every conceivable mainstream topic of WordPerfect for Windows version 6.1 and 7.

Both of these books are now out of print, but you may be able to find copies in retail bookstores, in libraries, and in used book stores.

Published by Que, 1994-1996. ISBN: 0-78-970083-2 (WPWin 6.1 version); 0-78-970140-5(WPWin 7 version).
