5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Surprise!, April 13, 2000

By	[e-mail] (Iowa- USA) - See all my reviews

A friend dropped this book off for me to look at, and I almost never opened it because I am generally not impressed the "Dummies" series. However, this book is wonderfully refreshing exception and every office should have it. It has a brief Overview/Reference of W98, and every aspect of Office. It is worded well, and shows you step-by-step how to do a great many common tasks with office. It does not cover any of the subjects in depth, and did not cover FrontPage very well, but I still have to give it a 5. It is a well organized, well written overview of Office and I feel It is a must have. By the way, I bought his copy and about four more since to cut down on technical support calls from my clients.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what the "Dummie" needed, September 21, 2001

By	Sonja Blalock (Sanford, NC United States) - See all my reviews

I am taking a course, through our community college, on Microsoft Office 2000. Our instructor made a general recommendation for simply written books like this. I had seen the "Dummies" books before, but had never looked at one. This book is awesome! It is so general and easy to understand. I can actually read and absorb the information easily. Thanks to the authors for bringing things down to the average person's level of understanding. Now I feel like I could tackle almost anything using Office 2000.

The book was in excellent condition. It arrived so quick that I could not believe it. Will absolutely use the used book section again and reccommend it to family and friends. The "Dummies" books are a good investment for self learners
