  • Whizz Kids Word Power: Be a Whizz with Microsoft Word

    Anne Rooney

    Paperback (Big Fish, Dec. 31, 2001)
    Here's the "Word": it's a whizz for kids to create cool documents. If you're sick of writing out thank-you letters, bored with black titles on your school papers, or want a really special birthday-party invitation, get your computer to help you! A Mac or PC with Word on it can turn those dull tasks into fun times--especially when you have this manual with all its operating secrets, from undoing a mistake to setting a style. Just start up the system and see what's on the menu. Once you've picked an option, begin "filling in the blanks" by typing text (big and bold, if you'd like), adding images, making your own notepaper, writing a color-coded play, and even "drawing" a poster. So--why use a pen again?
