This review is from: Microsoft Office XP: Introductory Concepts and Techniques (Shelly/Cashman S.) (Spiral-bound)

This is a great textbook! This book is very easy to follow, as it has provided step-by-step instructions on how to do each of the chapters in this book and of Office XP. It also has a chapter review section with more exercises.

This review is from: Microsoft Office XP: Introductory Concepts and Techniques, Enhanced (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)

Plenty of step by step instructions in this text. Goes over all the programs in the XP Office suite. My only complaint is that the section on Outlook was a little thin. I am already getting ready to purchase the next text in the series and am looking forward to the things it will cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helped me ace "Computers 101" at St. John's U., April 6, 2008

This review is from: Microsoft Office XP: Introductory Concepts and Techniques, Enhanced (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)

Easy enough for a technophobe to learn from. Concepts explained well, although a bit drawn out at times. I don't know how it compares to other instruction manuals, but this one got me through a year of basic computer science at St. John's U.
