This a great book to use when learning Office 2000. It's easy to understand and has lots of screen pictures and labels to help you on your way. The instructions are clear and can help even the true beginner learn each program with the least possible discomfort and frustration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book just skip the first chapters about computers!!!, September 30, 2004

This review is from: Microsoft Offic 2000: Introductory Concepts and Techniques, Enhanced (Spiral Bound) (Shelly and Cashman Series) (Spiral-bound)

The book is great but it is written for people who never had experience with computers. So I would advise anyone to skip those intial chapters. I highly recommend getting the spiral bound edition because the book is about the size of a major city's Yellow Pages and it is easier to handle.

The screen-by-screen instruction is terrific but of course, I ignore directions such as (open window, hit save, etc..). The lessons at the end of each project allow you to perform the lessons that you just learned. I would advise that you download the lessons on your computer instead of to a disk like the book recommends. Since I was just laid off, the book is great for brushing up on programs that you don't really use on a daily basis. I am planning to get the advanced versions of the book very soon.
