5.0 out of 5 stars Learn Office really quick!, December 7, 1999

By A Customer

This book helped me learn office 97 verly quickly. The CD that it comes with cuts down your typing time so you have more time to work with the program. It only took me about 1 and a half months to learn how to use every office program (Word, Excel, PPT, and Access). A great gift idea for anyone that needs help with word processing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Definitely for the beginner, May 28, 1999

By A Customer

I bought this book based on the good reviews here. I'm looking at taking my expert MOUS exams and am looking for something geared to that. This book advertises it's Microsoft Certification, but it's not for someone who is already a proficient user. If you want to know how to use menus, wizards and hotkeys, this is your text. If you want to learn about cross-tab queries, macro coding and exporting to ASP, this is not your book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value, good organization, very usable, November 15, 2000

By	Gregg W. Silk (Gaithersburg, MD USA) - See all my reviews

A very handy book, especially for people proficient in Word but not the rest of Office. If you fit this category, you will use it all the time. Nothing fancy, but it accurately and briefly describes using the Office applications on projects start to finish, as well as how to make corrrections and improvements after the fact. Good for people that need to get up and running with Excel and Access in a hurry. No wasted words. Spiral binding has been durable.
