Simple to understand, makes the learning curve an easy climb. You can be up and running in no time even if you know almost nothing about computers. I did this in one afternoon and had a professional presentation ready for a lecture I had to give and I had never used it before

This is an excellent reference book. There are a lot of Microsoft tips and tricks books out there, but this one is a very simplified one. By simplified I mean it's not complex. It is easy to find the information and the information is explained very well. I have used several of the tips to expedite my work, and I was considered well above average for this software application before purchasing this book. I highly recommend it for those looking for useful tips and tricks for this application.
