Ever fumbled through menus and screens trying to figure out how to do the same work you've always had to do. Frustrating, isn't it?

Even the most savvy users struggle to return to productivity in the wake of upgrades, and what you are looking for is just what has changed. This book doesn't focus on reasons to upgrade or total cost of ownership discussion--just where the buttons are now so you can go on with your work.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
No matter what your core business, the productivity of your organization rests largely on the software its people use to do such everyday tasks as writing letters and making calculations. When you choose to upgrade to a new version of a productivity suite, you'd better do it carefully, or output will surely suffer. That's the theme of Migrating to Office 2000, which aims at getting you up to date on what's new in the latest Office release, and explaining how it differs from Office 95 and Office 97. You might decide you'd be better served by a larger book that treats all Office 2000 operations in detail, but this one is a good value if all you want is a quick statement of what's new and what's different.
The book does a good job of explaining how the Office 2000 applications--Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and Outlook--differ from their forebears. Features that are common to all Office applications get attention, too. However, the presentation of procedures and the circuitous way of pointing out interface elements (you have to read some text, note a number, and then find that number in an illustration) harm the book as a whole. It would be stronger if procedures were organized as numbered steps and callouts were more immediately informative. --David Wall
Topics covered: Microsoft Office 2000's new and exciting features. Coverage touches on table-editing features in Word, charting improvements in Excel, subdatasheets in Access, and distribution lists in Outlook.
