3.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic, December 12, 2007

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Office 2003 (Paperback)

The book accomplished everything that I bought it for which is to show a user how to use MSOffice who does not have a very good knowledge of computer skills. The book gives a brief overview of each application of MSOffice step by step. Things suchs as how to properly use the right-mouse button and the use of the default buttons on the top. I only wish the author gave a little more detail and emphasis on certain things such as picture re-sizing and its affects on the image and more in depth walkthrough of formatting.

I think these are useful books for beginners. Many (but not all) of the "Teach Yourself Visually" series books are good -- check reviews first on the one you are considering. This one (Office 2003) is a good one.
