Microsoft Office 2000 Advanced Concepts and Techniques

Rating:
Summary: outstanding
Review: This is book 2 of a 3-part series. Book 1 is Introductory Concepts and Techniques, and Book 3 is Post-Advanced Concepts and Techniques. These three books are my favorites for learning Office 2000.

In this volume, there are advanced sections on Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint (volume 1 covers basic skills in these applications and also Outlook). In each section, there are projects that you complete. The text takes you through the projects step-by-step, with very clear instructions and excellent illustrations. As you complete each project, you learn specific skills.

One feature that I particularly like is one of the appendices. It lists the skill requirements for Microsoft Office User Specialist Certification and shows which page in the book the specific skills are explained.

Other books from Course Technology that I like include the New Perspectives Series, and the Illustrated Series. I also like Ruth Maran's Simplified Series and Teach Yourself Visually Series. And, there is always Microsoft Press: I like the Step-by-Step Series and the Running Series.
