From Library Journal

In the Internet rush it is sometimes easy to forget that most people still use their computers primarily for word processing and simple spreadsheets. For many of those folks these tasks are still pretty difficult. Because virtually every Windows computer comes preloaded with Microsoft Office?Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook (a scheduler), all bundled together?a great many low-level users will be looking for help with this configuration. And since Bill Gates has seen fit to release a new version under the title Office 97, all of us will be scrambling for guides. Both of these books are part of recognizable and popular series, and both should be in most libraries. Guarenteed to circulate.

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Office 97 in 24 Hours (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book is a great 'starter' work for the new or novice Office 97 user. It's well written and well illustrated. After finishing this work you will want to add a 'bible' type book for reference such as Paul McFedries' "Office 97 Unleashed".

I started this book to learn VB and didn't expect to gain a lot having had bad experiences in the past with "Self help" books. I completed chapter after chapter in one sitting and just wanted to keep going. I was able to understand every step and build simple applications within hours Warren Jenkins
