2.0 out of 5 stars NOT a "Complete Reference", March 29, 2001

This review is from: Running Microsoft Office 2001 for Mac (Paperback)

I did not learn ONE new thing from this book. Been using 2001 for a few months now and already know the basics.

Book may serve newbies well but offers NO instruction on advanced features.

What we need is a Manual like Microsoft used to ship that covers EVERYTHING.

I have waited 2-3 months for this and find it useless. Sorry to be negative but want a lap-reading book that covers the software from A to Z.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good guide to office 2001, April 8, 2001

This review is from: Running Microsoft Office 2001 for Mac (Paperback)

This is a very well presented guide to using the new Office suite. It contains very useful tips that even experienced users of earlier versions will find useful. I made severeal beneficial changes to my preferences as a result. It is a very well illustrated book that can be used as a reference guide as well as being read. The authors provide contact information so that more esoteric problems can be addressed. I have just used it to learn how to create hyperlinks and how to use sounds from other email clients in the Entourage email suite. I recommend this large paperbook as a good starting point for learning more about the capabilities of the software.

I bought a new computer and a new Office:mac 2001 and didn't know where to go from there! Then I purchased a copy of Microsoft Office:mac2001"Running." I started with Chapter 2 and am up to Chapter 25. I do a little learning every day. It's like I have my own classroom. Even for such a novice as me, the explanations are very clear, and some day I expect to be able to publish my own cookbook. All the Formatting Tools, the Address Book, E-Mail, how to costomize your work, Tables, columns, and graphics. It's all so clear and such fun to learn! In other words, I like this book.
