I just got Office XP and wanted to learn the software, so I purchased this.

This program keeps freezing on the "Access" tutorial, with no way to click on the other Office titles (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). I tried uninstalling and reloading 2x to no avail. Very frustrating.

Clearly, this has bugs in the programming. I'm going to buy one of their competitive publisher's Office XP training programs (which will hopefully work!) and return this.

Also, like the previous reviewer, their "toll-free" number asks you to call a regular number - misleading advertising.

first of all, the 1-800 phone number on the package refers you to another number that isn't toll-free. It's all cd-rom and information on the package. That's it. I ran into problems: the tutorial kept stopping and it wasn't until the next day that I caught on that it was pausing by itself unprompted--it seemed that there was a glitch in the program--but it kept pausing and pausing and pausing. Uninvited. The tests are simple but let you know if you get the basics.

I've tried other Office training methods, including books, but this is, by far, the best way to learn the finer points of using Word and Excel. I have struggled with Excel for years, but with this cd, I was able to master it in less than 1 hour. The training was fun and interactive and I would recommend it to anyone.
