 Excellent reference, good explanations January 7, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I'm not sure which book some of the other reviewers are reading, but I was very pleased with the book, on the whole. I do agree that the indexing was not what I might like, but I found the explanations of process and procedure very usable, and the guided exercises were quite helpful. Money well spent, IMO.
 Good help for beginners May 5, 1999

When I bought this book, I was still pretty new to Office. I found it very helpful in learning the features and little bits of each program. The index wasn't so great, but everything else was really helpful. Thanks for a good intro!
 Not worth the money!! April 6, 1999

I feel bad saying this but I think this book is not at all worth the money. In fact, I don't even want it taking up space on my shelf. The authors have hardly covered any of the programs in any depth whatsoever. Something as simple as the concept of Macros isn't even listed in the index.(It may be covered in the book, but without a mention in the index, what good is it?) I bought this book because the manual is so bad. But this book is even worse than the manual. Even the Visual Quickstart for Word 6 covers more than this book. Worse than the utter simplicity in the book is the fact that the authors actually give some bad information. Not only that but the layout and graphics of the book are horrible. No callouts for the figures. No good captions. And they manage to put a rather distracting grey texture behind too much of the text. I am actually going to spend more of my own money to ship this book back to amazon.com. I don't care. It's a VERY bad book!!!
