This book is intended for those who want to go beyond the basics of Office use, and particularly those who will administer and support other users on a daily basis. It's a complete reference for all the different programs in the suite, of course, but it goes far beyond that by providing plenty of details on how to use Visual Basic for Applications to customize, streamline, and improve the performance of Office in the workplace.
The now-obligatory CD-ROM included with the book contains an additional 200 pages of material dealing with Publisher, FrontPage, sharing resources, and the nuts and bolts of Windows code. You'll also find Woody's Office POWER Pack 2000, VBA snippets ready for use, and plenty of third-party software to help you create the perfect working environment for everyone in the office. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have roadmap for converting to Office 2000,
By Dr. Tim Pyron (tpyron@txdirect.net) (San Antonio, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Platinum Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000 with CDROM (Using ... (Que)) (Hardcover)
This book is a comprehensive yet also richly detailed body of knowledge about implementing and using Office 2000 that excels on a number of levels. 1) It is a great reference manual: I've gone to it with specific questions and immediately found straight-forward, clear, and concise answers. 2) It's a superb learning tool for mastering new concepts: I'm an experienced computer professional but am just starting to move my clients to browsing the corporate intranet for a number of reports we share. For people like me it's an invaluable guide for adapting to and succeeding in the rapidly changing "webification" of the office environment. 3) It is the most comprehensive yet detailed volume I've found for getting up to speed with the new productivity tools in the Office 2000 suite of products. 4) It's chock full of tips from seasoned professionals and liberally sprinkled with productivity macros you can create on the spot, even if you don't know Visual Basic. I heartily endorse this book. Dr. Tim Pyron (author, "Special Edition Using Microsoft Project 98")

Comprehensive and Accurate: Will Boost Confidence of any Office 2000 User,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Platinum Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000 with CDROM (Using ... (Que)) (Hardcover)
This book contains all the information one would expect from an endeavor to comprehensively explain an intricate and complex suite of programs. Better editing would have reduced the size of the tome and made it more readable, hence only four stars. My book came with a CD that would not run on my computer. Laura Stewart, the author, and Macmillan took this problem very seriously. Macmillan worked diligently to promptly provide a fully functional CD. These people know what they are doing.

Easy to follow and well organized,
By A Customer
This review is from: Platinum Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000 with CDROM (Using ... (Que)) (Hardcover)
Most manuals and technical books are very tedious and a dry read. This one is not. There has been great effort to make this book user friendly and still convey the changes accurately. I found the descriptions of changes in Access and Excel, in which I work most extensively, very well planned and explained. I also like the VBA snippets.
