This is the perfect book for someone just starting out on Project 98 and would like to read in a step by step lesson format. One will learn the fundamentals, but this is not the place to look for troubleshooting or more advanced techniques. For that, I highly suggest Project 98 Bible by Nancy Stevenson.

4.0 out of 5 stars Catapult is Microsoft, December 16, 1999

This review is from: Microsoft Project 98 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft)) (Paperback)

Catapult apparently is a subsidiary to Microsoft. Good book. Follows the same approach (and coincidentally? ) the same example (moving a business) as Que's MS Project 4.0 book from about 1993--and this is the only book I have seen since then that tops Que's original.

My main gripe is that the Introduction points to a Microsoft certification exam you can take and there is no such exam--makes you wonder. But not surprised by this inconsistency as the Microsoft Project 98 product itself has a bit of a "not all together" feeling to it, as if it were programmed by multiple teams in multiple countries--that didn't always talk together (ie. how many different ways can you implement the calendar controls folks? ). But for the price and features, you can't beat Project98 and this book will have you using it effectively. If you want to go beyond this, look for Tim Pyron's books on Project98. Pyron's books are poorly organized but contain tips and traps you wont find anywhere else.

I am a Applications Software instructor for New Horizons Learning Centers and I haven't found a series of books as helpful as the Step by Step series...

Great Aid to learning complex programs!
