1.0 out of 5 stars A book about wizzards, January 25, 2006

This review is from: Microsoft Office 2003: The Complete Reference (Osborne Complete Reference Series) (Paperback)

There is not one useful item in this book. The explantions of functions are obsure and always tell you to use the CD. Basically the entire book is made up for directions on how to use the wizzard functions in access....and why anyone needs step by step for that is beyond me, thats why its a wizzard. Completely useless reference

This review is from: Microsoft Office 2003: The Complete Reference (Osborne Complete Reference Series) (Paperback)

Microsoft Office 2003: The Complete Reference (Osborne Complete Reference Series) is just what it says. It explains many of the "what does that do?" things that we all have wondered about in Office from time to time, and unlike many other "how-to with software" books, goes through each menu item and step-by-step explains how to make it work.

In my case, I got a brand-new condition book that addresses the exact version of Office that I have for less than a quarter, plus shipping. Ya gotta love a deal like that!
