This book helped me learn office 97 verly quickly. The CD that it comes with cuts down your typing time so you have more time to work with the program. It only took me about 1 and a half months to learn how to use every office program (Word, Excel, PPT, and Access). A great gift idea for anyone that needs help with word processing.

I bought this book based on the good reviews here. I'm looking at taking my expert MOUS exams and am looking for something geared to that. This book advertises it's Microsoft Certification, but it's not for someone who is already a proficient user. If you want to know how to use menus, wizards and hotkeys, this is your text. If you want to learn about cross-tab queries, macro coding and exporting to ASP, this is not your book.

A very handy book, especially for people proficient in Word but not the rest of Office. If you fit this category, you will use it all the time. Nothing fancy, but it accurately and briefly describes using the Office applications on projects start to finish, as well as how to make corrrections and improvements after the fact. Good for people that need to get up and running with Excel and Access in a hurry. No wasted words. Spiral binding has been durable.

Bravo, bravo! This is the best self-taught or instructed book I have ever used! The explanations, examples and exercises are easy to understand and perform. I keep my book on the job and it occasionally disappears. Everyone that has borrowed it with or without my permission, tell me, it's really a great book. I have purchsed additional copies for my husband, daughter and friends. Thank you, ladies!

I have been using these books for over 3 years in my computer classes at the high school and in the adult learning classes in the evening. It's easy to folow and offers mouse and keyboard methods with clear, easy to follow exercises. I have purchased over 50 books for Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Windows 95 and Access classes. These books are hard to find in my area (syracuse, New York).

I needed to learn how to use Access quickly. I borrowed a copy of this book from another person in my office, and was so impressed with it that I decided to buy a copy to keep for myself. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it ideal for the first-time user or as a refresher text for those who use Microsoft Office 97 infrequently.

I have used this book as a teaching tool in my Office classes. I find that it uses the techniques that real users need to use. The exercises are preceded by great explanations using simple ideas and concepts. I especially like the Keystrokes section after each exercise to show those of us that like using the keyboard more and the mouse less how to do things. Great writing. Now I need a similar book for Word Perfect 8 Suite.

The cd offers very little. Buy only for the book, not for what you think the cd will teach you. The book is very detailed, but the first task I needed to look up about using tables in Word, was not covered. Has lot's of info about almost everything but I was disappointed this was not covered.

I'm a teacher and use this book every day. It's great and my students feel very comfortable with it.

This text includes user-friendly instructions, guided learning and comprehensive exercises. I have used this in the adult class room setting and in the work environment with great success. This is one of the best texts on the market.
