I bought this book for just one reason: the incredibly annoying "float of text" curse that occurs in Word 97 when pasting graphics. The very elegant solution (implemented through a three line macro) is worth the price of the book.

I do have one complaint about the book. The authors' style is chatty, like the Dummies books. Its not that obnoxious, but I find it annoying. The other two O'Reilly books I own(Windows 95 in a Nutshell & Practical C Programming) are much better written. They are clear, concise, fun, and insightful without all the Chatty-Cathy stuff.
