Amazon.com Review
Are you a power user? Special Edition: Using Microsoft Office 2000 has what you're looking for; it'll let you open up the hood and get your hands dirty tuning Office to run your way.
In addition to comprehensive reference material covering all of the Office programs--even Visual Basic for Applications--you'll find a host of secrets, hidden features, and "hacks" you'll see nowhere else. Be warned: some of these tricks are for experienced users only. (One false move in the Windows Registry and you might find yourself looking at a reinstallation!) Don't be intimidated, though--even the timid will find Special Edition a gold mine of information and resources.
Great indexing lets you find what you need quickly, from absolute cell references to zooming, and the clear text and graphics will help you solve any problem--even ones you didn't know you had. The book comes with a CD-ROM containing Woody's Office Power Pack (a great set of Office utilities); the complete, searchable text of the book; and additional material covering Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a bundle of cool third-party software that'll keep you busy for hours. If you've mastered the basics and want to improve your Office knowledge, let the professionals show you the way with Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000. --Rob Lightner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Forget the rest -- this is the one and only!,
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business Edition (Paperback)
I've dealt with my share of program guide books, and I've never found one as readable, helpful, and well organized as this. These guys tell do an amazing job of getting the info across. For example, I have a so-called "complete reference" for FrontPage2000 that tells me less in 953 pages than this book does in just 175! And no, I am NOT kidding! There are plenty of great tricks and shortcuts, helpful graphics and a varied layout that keeps things from getting tedious. The prose is refreshingly conversational and not "tech" heavy. Woody's other book ("WL Teaches MS Office 2000") is good, but not nearly as comprehensive. And for once, a book provides a CD ROM with genuinely useful software, not just "trial" programs that amount to little more than advertising. If you or your office team need the full lowdown on MS 2000 in one book, this is the only choice. Compared to what it would cost to either take courses or buy complete books on each program in the MS 2000 suite, this book is a remarkable bargain.

The essential Office 2000 book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000 (Paperback)
I'm another lucky person who happened upon Woody's free email newsletter - Woody's Office Watch which lead me to get his books. Woody's books always tell you how the software really works -- unlike Microsoft Press books that are often extended press releases that never mention bugs or problems. I think the guy from Brooklyn must have meant another book -- Special Edition Using Office 2000 has over 1450 pages of great information plus the CD. The index and TOC are comprehensive and lead me to the pages I need. No grammar or spelling errors have leapt out at me. I have plenty of computer books -- but only Woody Leonhard's books have a permanent place on my desk.

The Best Office 2000 book by the Best Office 2000 authors.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000 (Paperback)
If you are not a developer, this is the only Office 2000 book you will ever need. As usual, Woody Leonhard (not to slight co-author Ed Bott) has produced the definitive guide to Office 2000. I've read his books religiously since the old Word for Windows days, and no one beats his understanding of what makes Office tick. You'll get the unvarnished truth--good and bad--about Office, not just a re-written Help file. Every chapter contains one final section: "Secrets of the Office Masters" which is often worth the price of the book itself. Add to this a registered copy of Woody's Office Power Pack on CD and no other book can touch the value and plain usefulness of this one. Just get it, and don't look back.
