This is a very comprehensive and detailed reference book for Office 2007. I have found it invaluable as a reference tool when I can't get Office to do something I want it to do. Just check in the index, read the very clear description and instructions and I am on my way!

VERY thick manual that is a book for both the beginner as well as the advanced user of Microsoft 2007

This review is from: 2007 Microsoft® Office System Inside Out (Bpg-Inside Out) (Paperback)

Of all the texts available on Amazon on Office 2007, I felt this was the most comprehensive and most articulately crafted reference guide available. It's amazingly versatile in its scope, drawing on a very eclectic and experienced range of experts in the Office field. The text is very user friendly, and covers ALL of the programs you would find in Office, just not the basics such as Word, or Excel, or Powerpoint. Every excercise is illustrated with a mirror image guide of what you would see on the screen as youwork along with it. It is a text that is very adaptable to the user, in that it could be used by a beginner, as well as someone looking to become very sophisticated in their usage of Office. For most people, this will be plenty, and there is a wonderful index in the back as well as a CD-ROM which has an amazing assortment of supplemental materials. I plan on using this to become more familiar with the basics of Office 2007 as well as a reference guide for my advanced business reporting in Excel and Access. As long as I own Office 2007 this will be the only reference I will need.

I find myself buying the InsideOut series, even if I have other books on a topic, because of the included eBook. I love the fact that I always have the information on my computer and can search it for whatever I need. This book is not very detailed, but it helped me with relative references in Excel just last week. I opened the eBook, searched for "relative reference" and found what I needed. Paid for the book, in my opinion. Oh, and I use the hardcover to page through and look for new information, when I have the time.
