I'VE PURCHASED A LOT OF BOOKS TO TEACH ME COMPUTER PROGRAMS. THIS ONE MAKES IT EASY TO LEARN "OFFICE 2000" WITHOUT PAIN OR FRUSTRATION. IT'S USER FRIENDLY WITH LOTS OF PICTURES, LABELS AND EASY STEPS TO FOLLOW. IT'S A WINNER, BUT DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDS BORROW IT!

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.

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.

This book is great and a keeper! I guarantee that even if you use a computer daily at work or school you will still learn many new tricks and shortcuts from this book. I would highly recommend it to someone who is trying to learn new things in the Microsoft Office Suites!

This book is quite useful especially for those who is self-directed. You will find it informative and put you at ease. You can follow step-by-step instructions and learn a lot from this book.

If you can't learn MS Office 2000 or XP using the Shelly Cashman series I believe you will never learn using another series. These books help me tremendously to become Master Certified in Office 2000. I'm also in the process of becoming Master Certified in XP using the Shelly Cashman series.When MS Office 11 comes out later this year I will invest in that series also.

Was shipped promptly and I received it in good time. Would buy from seller again.

The book itself is very good. I would recommend it to those who are just starting to learn and for those who need to brush up on their skills or use as a desk reference. I did not like the "ring -binder" form as it seems flimsy and already was looking used when I got it due to shipping. I would suggest the other form for future reference.

You could have better information provided by illiterate people who have never used a computer. The way this book explains how to a simple action, leads you to believe you are breaking the code for DNA. I would not recommend this book to anyone serious about learning MS Office. You would be better off just clicking around aimlessly in the programs themselves. I myself unfortunately have to use this book to pass the course my college is giving. We going to petition my college not use this for this course again. Sorry, but this how not to learn MS Office save your money for a "Office for Dummies" book.
