The Que Quick Reference guides are portable-sized mini-encyclopedias for users who are relatively comfortable with everyday applications. Imagine that you've just upgraded to Office 97, or you've forgotten how to create a new table in Microsoft Access ... you might turn to this guide for the briefest possible description of a process to complete a particular task. It's the kind of book you'd want to have available when you need it as opposed to an in-depth guide that teaches you specific techniques in order to master the software.
A book like this lives or dies by the quality of its table of contents, glossary, and most of all, index. Fortunately, Microsoft Office 97 Professional Quick Reference is a well-indexed guide to the entire suite of applications. The book does lack depth in some areas. For example, you won't find a lot of detail on writing Word macros. But if you're a relatively comfortable but infrequent user of Office, this book might be just the ticket to help you remember some commands you've forgotten. Keep it within arm's reach.
