Whether you are new to Microsoft Works or new to computing in general Microsoft Works 2000 for Dummies will get you started in a real way. As with all the "Dummies" series of books, is an excellent book for a beginner. Jargon, the bane of most computer books, is explained in plain English. This is not a book to sit down and read through like a novel but one to sit at the computer and try things out. The step by step instructions really help in making the computer do what you want it to. The only problem I have is with the name. Many people already feel like 'dummies' when it comes to the computer and they don't want to be caught with a book that announces that. Yet, even with that handicapp, I'd tell anyone who would like to try Microsoft Works 2000 to get this book.

My particular problem was not addressed in the book. But the author promptly responded to my e-mail question. The result was that my problem was solved. I then asked another problem not related to the subject of this particular book and he again swiftly answered with a solution that solved my problem.
