5.0 out of 5 stars An intelligent book meant for intelligent readers..., September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Master Microsoft Office 2000 VISUALLY (Paperback)

This is a really first-rate book on Office 2000 that is straightforward enough for beginners yet possesses a breadth and depth which will keep the interest of advanced users. Wonderful graphics, well-written text, all the ingredients needed to capture and keep the attention of all those fortunate enough to read this book. This book provides all the ins and outs and tips and tricks of the other books without the tedious verbosity and mind-numbing attention to obscure details of interest to literally no one but the author. The authors that write those huge 2000 page tomes write as if they're being paid by the word. Thankfully, Ms. Maran doesn't fall prey to that particular temptation. Turn to this book when you've become thoroughly disgusted with the others, you won't be sorry.

This review is from: Master Microsoft Office 2000 VISUALLY (Paperback)

This 680 page paperback is a lot faster to read than one would expect. It has a lot of screen shots and therefore not as much reading as the number of pages would suggest. I got it when Office 2000 was new and I had some downtime away from computers but thought I'd see what was new in the 2000 suite.

I read this book over the course of about 3 days, going through it here and there. After that, I never had a reason or desire to open it again. It's not a reference book by my estimation. It's a "get acquainted" with software type book. That's really what it's for, but the Visually series had by this time started to move away from the concept that made them great.

One of the best learning books out there, teaching Office 2000. MaranGraphics, deserve high praise, for compiling such a thorough, easy to understand book. Visually is exactly what it means, your able to go step by step, seeing what they are explaining. Great investment.
