This review is from: Microsoft® Office System Step by Step -- 2003 eLearning Edition (Bpg Step By Step) (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful beginner's book. It provides interactive training that the staff found enjoyable to review. They liked the ablility to click on the "Show Me" button and the software would show them how to perform a function. They also liked be able to go at their own pace and the ability to review a topic as many times as needed. You can't go wrong for the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected., February 10, 2006

This review is from: Microsoft® Office System Step by Step -- 2003 eLearning Edition (Bpg Step By Step) (Hardcover)

I received the book in two weeks and there was a hole in page 713. Some areas of the book presume that the reader understands the MS jargon the writer is referring to. Some practice examples are not clear and are frustrating. It would be more helpful if there was a visual demonstration on the disc.

I ordered this book for one of my children for school. If purchased through the textbook company it was more than 10 times as much. The book arrived quickly, was brand new and complete with CD. I would definitely order again from this supplier.
