Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
A learning aid composed of a book and CD-ROM, Microsoft Office 2000 Step-by-Step Learning Kit helps new users become familiar with the conventions and procedures of Microsoft Office 2000.
This package covers each edition of Office 2000, with elements on Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, and Publisher. The book contains key information on each Office program, mainly in the form of stepped procedures. It's handy as a basic reference, but other books (Woody Leonhard Teaches Microsoft Office 2000, to cite one example) have superior information and instruction. The CD-ROM is this package's real gold mine for novice Office users.
The CD-ROM excels at identifying the user's weaknesses and making it easy to access the tutorial emphasizing the skills needed. Each section--such as "Applying Basic Formatting to Your Document" and "Modifying an Existing Database"--begins with a pretest. When you finish the pretest, the program points out links to multimedia presentations that cover your weak areas.
The presentations use voice narration and somewhat interactive animation (click here, click there) to convey key concepts and procedures. (There are also text-only versions of the tutorials for workstations without sound hardware.) Users will get a quiz at the end of each section as well. The software keeps track of a user's progress through the lessons, what they've scored on quizzes, and what lessons need completion. --David Wall --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Chosing the right Office 2000 Step-by-Step option,
By Mike Eaton (Cape Town) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Office 2000 Step by Step Learning Kit (Paperback)
My choice was narrowed down between the old Microsoft Office 2000 Step by Step Learning Kit with CD Rom, Number 0735605084 or the New Learning Kit, part number 0735610908 (Feb 16, 2000 release). After reading various reviews, which didn't tell me very much about this, I eventually spoke to someone at Microsoft Press. He said at that the new Interactive Learning Kit was less expensive because market research had indicated a target price, but that it had virtually the same content (and exactly the same CD)as the more expensive version. The New Learning Kit is now also certified for M. O. U. S. ( Microsoft Office User Specialist) training. It seems the therefore that if you are in the market for the Interactive Learning Kit, the new version is the one to go for. A word of warning, when choosing between the four Step by Step books for Office 2000, make certain that the book you choose covers your software package. If, for instance, you need to cover the Small Businesses module, you should buy the Interactive (Starts Here) book. No. 0735605068.

This book has been replaced by ISBN 0-7356-1090-8,

This review is from: Microsoft Office 2000 Step by Step Learning Kit (Paperback)
As good as this set (Book and CD) is, Microsoft realized it was overpriced and rereleased it as ISBN 0-7356-1090-8. List 29.99 40% cheaper. Buy that one instead
