Editorial Reviews
Review
"Students appreciate the detail of instruction the Shelly Cashman Series texts offer and the numerous resources made available to them. The instructions are exact and they are able to compare their screen with those pictured in the book. Once students have taken a course using a Shelly Cashman text, they do not want a book by anyone else." - Linda Haberaecker, Davenport University
"The Shelly Cashman Series is to computer applications as Kleenex is to tissue." - Instructor Diane Folse
"I use the Cases and Places exercises as graded assignments, as well as for extra credit. They provide little guidance; the student has to apply what they learned in the project itself. This allows for flexibility; the student can use the formatting and layout that they want to in solving the problem. The solution files provided on CD make it convenient for grading/correcting as well as demonstration. I plan to continue to use the Shelly Cashman Series in my online and traditional course. The student feedback on the text is excellent. In fact, most students say they will keep the text as a source for future reference." - Associate Professor Thaddeus Jones, Jefferson Community College
" Shelly Cashman Series is the most comprehensive tool to prepare students for the Microsoft Office Specialist certification and future employment. The text is very thorough and closely aligns the teaching objectives to the Microsoft Office Specialist skill sets. The exercises in the text are also accurately mapped to the exams." - Professor Juanita H. Marquez, El Centro College
"After using your text this past semester, I think it is great! The instructor’s supplemental material (tests, practice, PowerPoint slides, etc...) make the teaching task easier! The book and supporting materials are ten times better than our previous text." - Dr. Stanley E Meyers, Norwalk Community College

Great for Beginners,
By
This review is from: Microsoft Office 2003: Introductory Concepts and Techniques (Shelly Cashman) (Spiral-bound)
I had to order this book for a college course even though I've been in this profession for about 9 years now. This book is organized by the applications that make up the Office suite. For each project, it walks you step-by-step through the entire process, which is very helpful for thise that have no clue how to navigate through the menus, shortcuts, or icons. It does a good job on breaking each of the concepts and capabilities of each application for a first-time learner. I think it's way too expensive though for the what it offers.

Great Examples and Easy to Follow,
By
This review is from: Microsoft Office 2003: Introductory Concepts and Techniques (Paperback)
This is a very well written book and has easy to follow examples. I have used several books in the past for reference however this is one of the best that explains computers. I am using this to take a class in college and I have used a computer now for 15 years and I am amazed at the little things I am learning. This is the perfect book for people who are just starting out and also good for people like myself to learn new tricks and tips.

Very affordable but a little outdated.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Office 2003: Introductory Concepts and Techniques, Second Edition (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)
I bought this for a university course, thinking that it would be similar to the newer ones. I liked that it was so affordable; however, being that it's from 2003, some stuff are a little outdated. I recommend buying the 2007 or current one, if you are planning to purchase an office book.
