4.0 out of 5 stars is that the author on the cover?, June 13, 2005
By W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The book has ambitious scope. McFedries gives useful tricks across each of the Microsoft Office 2003 applications. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook. A certain amount of prior knowledge about each would be useful to you.

The PowerPoint chapter was the easiest to understand. Perhaps because PowerPoint itself is straightforward. Its output tends to be simpler than grunging up an intricate function relating several cells in Excel, say. Also, the PowerPoint chapter has good style guidelines that may be more important than the specific tricks discussed.

The Access chapter may be the hardest. Access is essentially a very nice UI and a stripped down SQL ability. While you might not need to know SQL, much of the chapter's points involve set manipulations that are functionally equivalent to ideas in SQL. The level of abstraction here is the highest, across the Office applications.

The book also goes into ancillary offerings like SharePoint and VBA. Discussion somewhat limited due to size constraints on the book.

Is that the author on the cover? Even if not, a bunch of readers might think so.
