5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide, March 28, 2008

By	Randy Kadish (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

Excellent learning guide. Like the title says, the book takes you step-by-
step through Microsoft Office. The instructions are very easy to follow. The book also has summary sections, so you can brush up without actually being on the computer.

I'm very pleased.

3.0 out of 5 stars MS Office Step by Step, December 25, 2008

By	James M. Kent "MS office user" (Idyllwild, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the info for each component of MS Office was insufficient to warrant the price. I wound up having to purchase an individual book for each component to make sure I knew the real capabilities of the component.

5.0 out of 5 stars Step by Step Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 book, October 4, 2008

By	Gerald R. Graczyk "Mary Graczyk" (Rehoboth Beach, DE - USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book to be most valuable in using Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007. It describes and teaches you the skills you need to use this program more efficiently.
Even if you used this program before, which may have been an older program, it will be a big help to you.
The CD that came with it is a plus especially for new users.
Sincerely,
Mary Graczyk
