free download of typesetting book update

[Aaron Shepard]

I've updated my book on typesetting with Word, to version 4.0. This is a
free download if you've purchased it previously from Amazon or eBookAd.
The links are

http://www.amazon.com/mylibrary

http://www.ebookad.com

The title has now changed to _Books, Type, and Microsoft Word_, though
the old title (_Books, Typography, and Microsoft Word_) might show up on
Amazon for a few days more. New in this version are additional tips for
general usage of Word, especially in regard to protecting files and
documents from corruption. Also new is a list of additional resources
for help with Word.

As before, you can read the free, abridged version on my Publishing Page

Having read info on your site, I agree. Word can do almost anything
XPress or InDesign can do with type. But what I miss in Word is the use
of ligatures. Using <glyphs> in InDesign gives me what I want in headings.

Hi Robert:

Ligatures are Unicode characters. They will be there large as life in the
next version of Word.

Some person who cannot be named suggested that the next version may contain
the redoubtable Arial Unicode MS font, which was almost created as a joke,
certainly as a "proof of concept" -- it's the only font in the world that
contains every known Unicode character...

OK, OK, for the purists: every character defined in Unicode 2.1. There is
now a Unicode 3 with another 16,000 or so glyphs... But 32,000 glyphs ain't
"bad"

Cheers
