4.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons on Teach Yourself VISUALLY Microsoft Office 2007, March 9, 2007

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Microsoft Office 2007 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)

I found this book useful as a general overview guide to Teaching Myself VISUALLY Microsoft Office 2007. The book did not go into details in any of the sections, and it did not deal with some of the minor or advanced sections of the COMPLETE Office 2007 program, however, I do recommend it as a reasonable investment to get a quick handle on the program. It greatly helps in the transition from the old format of Office which we had from 1997 through 2003, into the new 'ribbon' format. I recommend it, but do not expect that it will answer ALL of your questions, or solve all of your change-over aches and pains. However, because I strongly believe that NOW is the time to change to a new Office system, this book is well worth the money. Go for it!

2.0 out of 5 stars You are better off getting the book specific to Excel, Word, etc., October 11, 2007

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Microsoft Office 2007 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)

This book is too general trying to crunch very basic how-to for the entire MS Office Suite. You will find better content and tips by purchasing each book that specializes each application separately (e.g., Teach Yourself Visually Excel, Teach Yourself Visually Word, Teach Yourself Visually Outlook, etc.)

This book works well when you have your application open and can match book page to your window screen! Glad I ordered the online pdf file with it! Makes it even handier -- no need to cart a book around!
