1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth buying, October 11, 2005

David S. - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (How to Do Everything) (Paperback)

This book doesn't offer much that you can't find in Outlook's Help system, it's poorly organized, and it isn't written well. You can almost hear the sleepy author's fingers clattering on the keyboard as he hurries to meet his deadline and get this book finished. Whether readers can understand a word didn't rank high on the author's priority list. Nothing is explained well. Nowhere does he give you any advice about how to make Outlook easier to use.

Don't bother with this hastily written book. It's hard to read and it isn't worth the asking price.

4.0 out of 5 stars task-oriented, well-written, October 29, 2005

By 

Sue F. - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (How to Do Everything) (Paperback)

If you are looking for a task-oriented, well-written book that covers every aspect of Microsoft's Outlook 2003, this is the book for you. The author is clearly comfortable with technical material but is able to communicate this material to a non-technical reader. The book is very thorough and provides notes, cautions, tips, and shortcuts throughout. Lots of useful information such as dealing with junk e-mail and spam. I recommend this book highly.

Lots of information but not what I had expected or hoped for. Having an issue with Outlook on one of my machines and thought this would provide the fix information.
