Word Hacks [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Acknowledgments

Thanks first to all of my colleagues at O'Reilly,
who have provided the most enriching and exciting workplace anyone
could ask for. Thanks especially to Rael Dornfest, Simon St. Laurent,
and Robert Luhn, for giving me the amazing opportunity to write this
book. Thanks also to Brett Johnson, a capable and cordial editor, for
steering me through my first book, and to Steve Saunders for a
thorough technical review and more than a few helpful comments and
suggestions. Thanks to Rachel Wheeler, for a copyediting job very
well done, and to Mary Anne Weeks Mayo. Thanks also to Claire
Cloutier, for giving me the freedom and encouragement to experiment
with many of the things that later became hacks in this book.

I'd also like to thank all of the
contributorsAndrew Bruno, Sean M. Burke, Ian Burrell, Greg
Chapman, Paul Edstein, Guy Hart-Davis, Evan Lenz, Jack M. Lyon, Gus
Perez, Shyam Pillai, Phil Rabichow, Christopher Rath, Omar Shahine,
Mark Hammond, and Dan Muellerfor their clever and creative
solutions, and especially for their willingness to share their work
with the rest of the Word world, in true hacker's
spirit. Thanks also to the denizens of the WOPR Lounge (http://www.wopr.com), an extraordinary
community of folks who truly enjoy helping others understand Word.
I'd especially like to thank Jefferson Scher, for
helping pin down a particularly perplexing line of code, and Gary
Frieder, for invaluable feedback and helpful suggestions.

Thanks also to my friends and family, who didn't
forget about me despite several months spent hiding away in front of
a computer, writing this book. Finally, I'd like to
thank my wife, Audrey, for her patience, support, and love, and for
believing I could do this when even I wasn't so
sure.
