FAQs about Microsoft Word eBooks
Q: What is a Microsoft Word eBook?
A:
An eBook in .doc format that can be read in Microsoft Word.


Q: What is the benefit of using a Microsoft Word eBook?
A:
For many people who are unfamiliar with eBooks, our Microsoft Word eBooks provide e-reading in a familiar setting - Microsoft Word. As long as you have Microsoft Word installed on your computer, you'll need no additional software. You can change the font size just like you would in any other Word document, and you can also print your eBook just like you would any other Word document.


Q: Do all publishers offer their eBooks in Microsoft Word format?
A:
No. Actually, most publishers do not offer their eBooks in Microsoft Word format because Microsoft Word eBooks are not "secure" eBooks, like Microsoft Reader or Adobe Reader. Customers are allowed to transfer their Microsoft Word eBooks to additional computers with no restrictions.


Q: Can I print Microsoft Word eBooks?
A:
Yes.


Q: I can't get my Microsoft Word eBook to open. My computer is telling me that it's not a recognized file type.
A:
You need to have the Microsoft Word software installed on your computer in order to read Microsoft Word eBooks. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you won't be able to open Microsoft Word files.


Q: How do I change the font size of all the text at once?
A:
Go to Edit > Select All, or hold down Ctrl + A on your keyboard. While all the text is highlighted, click the down arrow next to the font size and select the size you'd like.


Q: I have Word Perfect, not Microsoft Word. Can I still read Microsoft Word eBooks?
A:
No, you must have Microsoft Word installed in order to read Microsoft Word eBooks. You might want to consider purchasing our Plain Text eBooks instead, or any other format.


Q: I have an older version of Microsoft Word (Word 95, Word 97). Can I read your Microsoft Word eBooks?
A:
