1.0 out of 5 stars It's a Joke to call it the 'Official Guide', January 9, 2000

This review is from: WordPerfect Office 2000: The Official Guide (Paperback)

I have four WordPerfect 9 books: the 'Mastering WP' by Alan Simpson, 'WordPerfect 2000 Bible' by Steve Harris, 'Special Edition' by Laura Acklen, and this 'Official Guide'. This so-called 'Official Guide' is clearly far inferior to any of the three 'non-official' books. It appears that this book was put together in a hurry, and provides only very superficial coverage of a very powerful office tool. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of bookstores, including CompUSA, only carry the 'Official Guide'.

I strongly suggest that Corel takes away the 'Official' title from this book, it does a great injustice to a great product of WordPerfect, and will only hurt sales of WordPerfect Office suite. For those who are considering buying WordPerfect, don't be fooled by this boring 'Official Guide', it is a much better product. Just read any of the three 'non-official' books and you will find out how great WordPerfect is.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better for WP Suite 8 instead of WordPerfect Office 2000, February 1, 2000

By

This review is from: WordPerfect Office 2000: The Official Guide (Paperback)

I initially thought about getting this book because it did seem in between too-easy and too-hard. But I am very familiar with the WordPerfect products and wanted detailed coverage of the new products (like Trellix 2 which replaces the "web site builder" mentioned on book cover and the above publisher's description). You would think "official" means corel would let authors know what products actually comprised their Office 2000. If you have Suite 8, this book would do nicely. Fails miserably for WP Office 2000.

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed, step-by-step instructions, October 29, 1999

This review is from: WordPerfect Office 2000: The Official Guide (Paperback)

This complete instruction book is one of the most clearly-presented and thorough guides to a program I have come across for the novice or intermediate user. While it doesn't deal with all of the suite's programs, it does a great job with the core applications.
