WordTips Annual Archives

Summary: WordTips is a weekly newsletter that provides tips on how to best use Microsoft's word processing software. At the beginning of every year we put together an archive of all the tips published the previous year.

WordTips Annual Archives

Thousands of people currently benefit from receiving a free issue of WordTips on a weekly basis. Past issues of WordTips are available in our convenient WordTips archives. Imagine having your own enhanced archive of WordTips to use at any time! Imagine how much you will learn with all that information at your fingertips!

Contents

Each volume of the WordTips archives includes the individual tips, organized by subject, in an electronic book. In addition, each archive includes the original issues of the WordTips newsletters, in plain-text format. The electronic book version of WordTips is especially helpful. The books are provided in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format and Microsoft Word format. In these formats you enjoy the following features:

  • Updated content not originally in the electronic newsletters.
  • Screen shots that illustrate what you see in Word as you follow the step-by-step instructions.
  • The ability to view, search, and print the book.
  • The ability to select and copy sections of text, such as macro code.
  • A clear indicator that shows to which version of Word the tips applies.
  • Hyperlinks to internal content (in the book itself) and referenced resources on the Web.

The Word-formatted and PDF versions are suitable for printing and maintaining your own book of WordTips.

Volumes Available

WordTips archives are published annually, so each volume covers a specific chronological year. (Don't confuse the volume names with Word versions. For instance, the WordTips 2019 volume contains all the tips published during the calendar year 2019, not just tips about Word 2019.)

To get an idea of what each volume contains, click on the volume name in the table below. You will see a complete table of contents for each volume, organized by topic.

Prices

WordTips archives are available for the low price of only $24.99 each. If you prefer, you can order your archives on CD-ROM for only $32.99. Compare that to regular computer books which can easily cost more for less information. Plus, the WordTips archives give you the power and convenience of having electronic files.

Special Bonus

Longtime WordTips subscribers know that keeping track of what is in the archives can be a challenge. Each individual volume is designed to be "stand alone," so that you can have easy access to a full year's worth of WordTips. What about if you have more than a year's worth, however?

Beginning with the WordTips 2020 archive, I'm including an exhaustive index to the five years preceding the archive. So, for instance, the WordTips 2020 archive contains an index for the years 2016 through 2020, while the WordTips 2023 archive contains an index for the years 2019 through 2023. This is provided at absolutely no charge. (I used to charge extra for this index, but now you receive it as a free bonus!) This index consists of two files:

  • Comprehensive List of WordTips. An alphabetic listing of all WordTips published in the five-year span. This book is provided in both Word and PDF formats.
  • Comprehensive List of WordTips, by Version. An alphabetic listing of all WordTips published in the five-year span, organized by the version of Word to which each tip is applicable. This book is provided in both Word and PDF formats.

This bonus tool is designed to help you find tips more easily. If you own two or more archive volumes, you will find this add-on to be very valuable as you refer to it again and again.

Remember—this bonus tool is available only beginning with the WordTips 2020 archive, not with archives from earlier years.
