4.0 out of 5 stars
Good introduction to StarOffice 5.1,
This review is from: Sun StarOffice 5.1 for Linux (Paperback)
Good introduction into StarOffice useage. It contains a lot of step by step examples, mostly acompanied by a black and white picture of the StarOffice window. The book helps a beginner to be able to do basic and middle level tasks, which is what most people are looking for. The book could go deeper, and I don't know which other book would lead me deeper, especially about that part of StarOffice, which would be the equivalent to the Microsoft Office VisualBasic for Applications. This book is for StarOffice 5.1. Inbetween Sun Microsystems added many new features to 5.2. It's really worth using 5.2. The online help tells one the improvements. Some menus have changed in a way, that the book's examples don't work anymore. But not many.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great way to learn star office,
By Vivek Kumar (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sun StarOffice 5.1 for Linux (Paperback)
A really great and thorough book written in english. Has lots of examples to make you learn as you read. It covers everything from getting started to advanced stuff, such as desktop publishing and Star Basic (the built-in macro language). But I beleieve it doesnt have enough infomation to make you a power user.This book is not by any means the most ideal book, nor is it completely comprehensive. It is just far better than others around and needed as the the SO doesnt have detailed Help
