Plain & Simple 2007 Microsoft Office System see-how guide:
The text and illustrations are clear and easy to follow. The material is arranged systematically. As a step by step guide to using MS Office it is great.
don't waste your money:
I have only found it useful once so far. If you like reading and want to read the book, it's great, but if you just need quick reference to do something specific, it's a waste. Office 2007 is very different from 2003 version in that they've moved things around to different areas, so I know the old commands, I just can't find them in 2007. I thought the book would help with that, but it doesn't.
True to its title:
Very clear, easy to follow, attractive looking. Everything is illustrated, so when it says, "#1 Click on this" if you don't know where this is, just look at the diagram and find #1. The only downside, although I'm sure it's its intended use, is that is really is a basic book, but even as an advanced user, I have learned from it with the painful switch (at least for me) to 2007. When I needed to make some graphs and charts QUICK after just getting 2007 (YIKES!!), this book so easily and quickly walked me... more info
Excellent Overview:
I purchased this book in addition to some of the other more advanced Office books (Office 07 Inside Out & Office 07 Bible) for the full color screen shots to see how the new Office System's Ribbon looked. Don't let the title fool you, although this book is indeed geared toward the newbie, there is some excellent coverage of some advanced topics I have not found in some of the other advance Office books. The organization may not be layed out very logically, but you can jump to whatever section you please... more info
