Summary: Great Book!
Review: I purchased this book last year for my wife who uses Office at work on a PC and at home on a Mac. She frequently has trouble figuring out how to do something at home that she does every day at work. Certainly this is due to variations in "the same" Microsoft product. However, every time she has turned to "The Missing Manual" she can not find the answer to what she feels is a simple problem. Just today she made a comment that we should just burn the book because it simply has never once taught her anything. Yes, it is full of hints and suggestions but to call it a "manual" is misleading. We have found it impossible to use as a reference, to look up something and find the answer. I am very disappointed and do not recommend purchasing this book, save your money.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I've looked at most of Office for Mac books, and this one knocks me out. Very clear and thorough. I'm hoping they continue it for 2004.
