Good Step-By-Step Projects,
By
This review is from: Microsoft Office Publisher 2003: Complete Concepts and Techniques (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)
This is a good book for beginners in Publisher to learn the program. It provides good projects that help show the features of Publisher. To me, it is not a "reference" book for tips on the program--it makes you do projects to learn the program. The good thing is, it gives you multiple projects for all sorts of uses of the program, so that you will learn how to use a lot of the features and templates that the program has to offer. I was required to complete projects in this book for a graduate course in Desktop Publishing. It was good for that use. I would use the step-by-step projects in the book with my high school students too.

This review is from: Microsoft Office Publisher 2003: Complete Concepts and Techniques (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)
The "but" is after reading the first chapter of this book and looking through the contents there are some useful projects. I've been using Publisher since 2000 for a newsletter and brochure for a non-profit group and not much more. But now I can see several new uses for the program and I'll give them a try. Granted it's not a hard program to master the bare essentials but I think this book may open a much wider range of uses for this user. The only bad thing is the steep price for the book itself. I really would like to give the book a 3.75 star rating...

The cover says "complete" but it isn't,

This review is from: Microsoft Office Publisher 2003: Complete Concepts and Techniques (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)
I suppose the acknowledgement that this book was created using Quark Express ought to tell the careful reader all he needs to know about Shelly Cashman and Starks's effort to explain Microsoft's desktop publishing software. At almost $60 a copy, this is the most expensive giant goldenbook I have hear of.
I bought this book to find out how to create a booklet of 20, 8.5x11 sheets folded into 8.5x 5.5 pages, printed on all four sides, a common situation in publishing. The table of contents says that bookfold will be addressed on PUB (why PUB and not page?) 258. It isn't. All in all, this is a sloppily done work for which the people at Thomson ought to be deeply ashamed. Tom Gordon Dallas TX
