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.

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

I am very happy that I invested my money in this product because I have only been learning with the Microsoft Office2000 for a week and have already learned so much because it helps you through the whole learning process step...by...step.This is in my opinion a great training tool.
