5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Office book I've seen, December 2, 1999

I've been a Technical Writer for 8 years, and used Word/Office since '95. This is the greatest single souce reference book for Office that I've seen. It's not a tutorial, and the CD is basically useless, but the book is like an encyclopedia, with clear, well written explanations, and straightforward examples of virtually everything Office can do. A "must buy" for anyone who uses Office.

4.0 out of 5 stars worthwhile and easy to understand, February 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 97, Professional Best Seller Edition (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I use this book daily (and I have the same book for Front Page 97). I appreciate the easy-to-follow style. My only disappointment is that it does not cover all facets equally - because it was one of the first books available after the official release? Some aspects about which I need to know much more, are dealt with in a less thorough fashion but it is still a great book. The tips and cautions alone are worth the price of the book!
