5.0 out of 5 stars Great preparation for Certified Microsoft Office User exam, August 27, 1997

This review is from: Microsoft Word 97 Step by Step: Advance Topics (Step By Step (Microsoft Pr)) (Paperback)

Thanks to this excellent book by Russell Borland I was able to pass the Certified Microsoft Word 97 Expert exam this evening. I've been using Word for years and I was able to pick up so many shortcuts I can't even begin to name them. Plus, workarounds for many of the things that have frustrated me over years were explained in simple, easy to understand exercises. I can't imagine anyone not being able to pick up at least five to ten major timesavers - even for the most expert user. In summary, it's an excellent book with practice examples to match. If you want to study for the Certified Microsoft Word 97 Expert exam, this is the book to get

1.0 out of 5 stars Very confusing, July 3, 1998

This review is from: Microsoft Word 97 Step by Step: Advance Topics (Step By Step (Microsoft Pr)) (Paperback)

Frist of all, I wouldn't have given the book any stars, but I didn't have that option. I had read the first book "Step by Step" for beginners and was really impressed, so I figured that the next book in the series would also be as good. Well, was I wrong. This book Step by Step Advanced Topics was very confusing. The Author,Russel Borland, might know Word97 very well, but he was not able to explain it. His examples are frammented and not very clear. I don't know what Amazon's return policy is, but I would like my money back! I guess I will go back to shopping at a book store,so that I can review the product before I purchase it. I hope that Amazon doesn't edit this out. This is only my personal option, but I think the book stinks!!

This book introduces the advanced topics of Microsoft Word in an easy to follow way.

I much prefer this hands on approach. The exercises were all very good. I was learning something new every day and enjoying it.

Every topic on the MOUS expert exam was covered. If you master the topics in this book you will ace your exam like I did.
