Download Description
Microsoft Office is the de facto standard for productivity applications not only in the Windows world, but also on the Macintosh.When Office v. X came out in 2002 it was one of the first major native OS X Macintosh applications. The new version of the suite, Office 2004 is expected in the first half of 2004. It features an array of improvements and three new components -- Project Center, Notebook, and Scrapbook. Yet the typical Mac user often feels that he or she does not know enough about these complex Office applications to be as productive and efficient as possible. They aren't intimidated by technology -- they just don't have the time to figure out on their own the things they need to learn. Unlike most books designed for beginners, Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac in a Snap doesn't waste the reader's time covering the simple stuff they usually already know, with each mouse click or dialog box painstakingly documented for them. Instead, the book is packed with over 160 truly useful Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage tips and techniques as well as fully documenting the new featues in Office 2004 for Mac. And it is written and organized in a unique random-access format that makes all these nuggets of information or advice instantly and easily accessible.

I found this book very helpful, easy to follow and not compicated in their directions. I would highly recommend this book for the novice or those that have extended experience with the Mac or Office and the price is a bargain.
Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac--a Must Buy November 9, 2006

Even though on-line help (prevalent in most computer applications today) has its advantages, it is good to know that there is help in a book format that is much more detailed, well-organized, and better illustrated. It is rare that I encounter a problem with Microsoft Word that is not addressed in Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.

The In a Snap books do not presume that you are a Dummy or an Idiot. They presume that you are a smart person, not afraid of computers, but that you need to learn how to use something new, like a piece of software on your computer. Further they assume that you want to get started without having to pour through all the 1500 pages or so in the guru level book. This book takes the Office 2004 software package for the Mac computer and gives it the In a Snap approach.
In evaluating books on Office, I always look first to see if they discuss Pivot Tables in the section on Excel. A surprising number of books don't, or give them very short treatment. In this book the index sends you to page 263, that puts you right in the middle of a discussion on pivot tables. Flipping back a page or three gets you to a section called Find Relationships Between Data. What an excellent idea, that's what a pivot table really is, but doesn't have the problem of the dumb name Pivot Table. The discussion is as good as I've seen anywhere in explaining what you can use them for.
The next thing I found was inside the front cover where they have a "Contents at a Glance." This sends you to, not the page number - that's the function of the index, but to a section identified by its own numbering system. Really a handy way to get where you want to jump in to solve the problem you're having at the moment.
