Many companies buy software suites for their employees and expect them to gain at least a working knowledge of all the applications bundled into the package. Microsoft Office 2001 for Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide is the most effective, relevant solution for these new users. The four main applications included with Office 2001 are Word 2001, Excel 2001, PowerPoint 2001, and Entourage, a new email and personal information manager. Microsoft Office 2001 for Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide contains illustrations and step-by-step lessons on how to use and integrate Office's powerful business tools. Readers learn about the key features of each Office application, and find unique and useful tips for combining the strengths of Office's components to solve common business needs.

2.0 out of 5 stars
this VQG is too shallow,
This review is from: Microsoft Office 2001 for Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
I am a big fan of Visual Quickstart Guides-I own them for Flash and HTML (3 & 4) as well, and would never give them up! But this guide was disappointing in its lack of depth. Office:mac is a broad suite of software, and I was extremely disappointed that this book fails to include many user tricks. The Visual Quickstart model is well-applied, but only to simple things such as opening files, setting tabs, formatting chart elements, etc. I believe the shallowness is due to its attempt to cover Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage in a 398-page volume. A VQG for each module would probably have the space adequately to cover the capabilities of the software. Questions I had from using Powerpoint for several months were not answered.I can only recommend this Guide to those who have never touched a Microsoft Office component before. This is not the ready reference power users are seeking.

This review is from: Microsoft Office 2001 for Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
This book is truly for beginners. It tries to hand hold a little too much. Golly, I do not want someone to spend three pages showing me how to save a darn file! While there is nothing wrong with that, and it might be of value to people who are *really* new to computers....folks who've been using PCs or Macs (esp. MS Office in its previous reneditions) will find little value in this. The first chapter does provide valuable info about what's new in 2001. If you're an advanced user and want to learn the more advanced tricks unique to Office 2001, stick either to the app specific titles in this series or look at O'Reilley's MISSING MANUAL series. Stay away unless you're a newbie.
