Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.

As an author, I've written these monster deep dives into Microsoft server solutions and applications. I know what it takes to do the job that Ackmann and Kulterman have done here. Nearly 500 pages on Microsoft Word... with crystal clear use-case explanation and copious screen captures that make it easy for anyone at any level to learn and/or master Word (be it 2019/2021 or 365). As a dinosaur Word user I was curious to see if they would avoid the subject of Macros... but it's in there. Next, I was curious to see how thorough the subject of document accessibility would be covered (Chapter 11) and it was incredibly thorough (I learned a ton on that one). The section I was eager to dive into was "Help! Word is Being Strange!" because I know over the course of my own career I have seen some crazy spacing, formatting, numbering, etc. issue. I think the more robust you try to make an application, providing for every scenario possible, the more complex and wonky, for lack of a better word, it can act. That section really clears up a ton of ... wonkiness (is that a word?). Bottom line... this book delivers in-depth coverage and true tips and tricks of a subject that is so often lacking in other texts. - J. Peter

This book isn't your basic book about "Here's how you add text." Duh, we all know how to type. No, this book is more like, "After you add text, here's how you apply a style to it (and furthermore, here's why you'd even want to do so)." Or, better yet, here's how you create your own styles. It hits the highlights you need to know.I especially love the last section because Heather and Bill don't just assume that Word works perfectly for everyone, every time. There are so many valuable troubleshooting tips! I mean, no other Word book tells you how to find all that random extra space that sometimes magically appears in your document text, much less how to get rid of it! Same with fixing weird formatting issues and list styles -- this is your go-to book for that and other need-to-know info!

Great book and from the first chapter “There Is No One Word” where they cover Word options to chapters on lists and characters, automation, illustrations/charts/tables to accessibility, fixing formatting problems & finally pasting options that seem simple, but are powerful when you peel back behind CTRL+V, this book covers everything you EVER wanted to know about Microsoft Word!
