Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Microsoft Office X for Macintosh is exactly the software suite Mac OS X fans were waiting for. Its four programs--Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage--have been completely overhauled to take advantage of the stunning looks and rock-like stability of Mac OS X. Unfortunately, this magnificent package comes without a single page of printed instructions. Office X for Macintosh: The Missing Manual tackles each of the primary Office applications with depth, clarity, and humor, providing relief for the hapless Mac user. It was written by a dream team of Macintosh experts: Tonya Engst, co-editor of the popular TidBITS Macintosh newsletter; David Reynolds, former executive editor of MacAddict magazine (now working at Apple); and Nan Barber, Macworld contributor and coauthor of Office 2001 for Macintosh: The Missing Manual, on which this book is based.

About the Author
Nan Barber is the coauthor of Office 2001: The Missing Manual as well as the Missing Manual series copy editor, having edited the Missing Manual titles on Mac OS 9, AppleWorks 6, iMovie, Windows Millennium, Dreamweaver 4, and Mac OS X. She works as a freelance writer and editor from her home near Boston, and is managing editor for Salamander, a magazine for poetry, fiction, and memoirs. She's also a contributing editor for www.thespook.com.

Tonya Engst is best known for her work on TidBITS, a free email and Web publication covering the Macintosh Internet community, which she co-founded in 1990. Since then, Tonya has written several books about Microsoft Word, and perhaps the first book about making Web pages using a Macintosh. She has also sold Macintosh computers, and she has worked for Microsoft first doing product support and, much later, editing the Office Web site. She has also written extensively for print magazines such as Macworld and NetProfessional. Tonya works from her home office in Ithaca, New York. Her husband, Adam, works just across the hall while her son, Tristan, hangs out down the street at day care when he isn't home "helping" by spreading glitter glue around. You can reach her at tonya@tidbits.com or visit www.tidbits.com/tonya/.

David Reynolds is the executive editor of MacAddict magazine.

1.0 out of 5 stars My advice: do not buy this book, November 29, 2003
By John Davis (Southwick, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book last year for my wife who uses Office at work on a PC and at home on a Mac. She frequently has trouble figuring out how to do something at home that she does every day at work. Certainly this is due to variations in "the same" Microsoft product. However, every time she has turned to "The Missing Manual" she can not find the answer to what she feels is a simple problem.

Just today she made a comment that we should just burn the book because it simply has never once taught her anything. Yes, it is full of hints and suggestions but to call it a "manual" is misleading. We have found it impossible to use as a reference, to look up something and find the answer.

I am very disappointed and do not recommend purchasing this book, save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, July 12, 2004
By A Customer
I've looked at most of Office for Mac books, and this one knocks me out. Very clear and thorough. I'm hoping they continue it for 2004.
