A little too basic for most users,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learn VISIO 2000 (Paperback)
I've just started reading this, so my comments are preliminary. The good parts about this book is that there is a lot of visual aids and a lot of logical steps for doing things. Plus, the author does a very good job of setting up hands-on activities for for the user to do. However, my complaint is that too much time spent explaining very basic functions that most Windows or Office users would already know. How to save? how to change the font? While not a bad book, potential buyers might consider looking at the advanced book first or buying both books in combination. Otherwise, this book is for people who really are starting fresh and might not well experienced in Office either. Perhaps one of the problems is that visio is extremely user-friendly (unlike other bloatware products! ), and a writer is left with explaining the obvious. That is why it might be good to find a book that explains the more advanced functions.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Beginner to midLevel users,
By Michael G. Stout (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learn VISIO 2000 (Paperback)
I read this book in a few hours and returned it afterwards. It covers many of the topics that are standard throughout the Office Suite of products. It may be a great book for somebody who is unfamiluar with new applications but I figured out most of this stuff before I even bought a book. Otherwise I have no complaints. I just knew this stuff already. This author has an advanced book that may be helpful for many advanced users who need to interact with the shapes.

useless,
This review is from: Learn VISIO 2000 (Paperback)
Terrible. will go on for two pages describing a 'setting' or feature, going deep into detail, without telling you how to invoke the feature or menu until the end. I just threw this book out as we speak.
