This review is from: Office 2003 Simplified (Paperback)

This single volume boasts of being a simplified approach to learning the basics of Word 2003, and it lives up to expectations. All of the instructions give actual "snapshots" of the computer screen and computer menus to show how to execute various commands. This book gives the basics of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, and Publisher.

This review is from: Office 2003 Simplified (Paperback)

This is the manual that SHOULD have come with Office 2003. It gets to the point quickly and easily. Makes learning all of the many many functions of Office 2003 much easier. In just the first 3 chapters I picked up several "new" hints to make my work with Office 2003 much easier. A MUST for all Office users.

This review is from: Office 2003 Simplified (Paperback)

This book is easy to read and as a simplified version it got the job done, but it was not enjoyable in the least. I hate to say it about a book, but I did not enjoy it. However, if you are having difficulty with Office 2003 or are like me and needed it for a Gen Ed, it will get the job done and give you everything you could need.
