Rating:  Summary: Great resource! Review: This book is the most comprehensive book I found on the Office 2000 MOUS exams. Covers the most important topics and is easy to read. The authors really seem to know their stuff. I hope to take the Word exams soon and think that this book will help me pass.

Rating:  Summary: If you're going to study, but another book. This one rots. Review: This is NOT the best self-study guide and claiming that it "teaches all the essential skills needed to advance your career" is a bunch of bunk. I'd rather spend a little extra money on a truly complete guide or for each application and learn it right the first time, instead of wasting my time with this book. Since the chapter on Access was so pathetic (coverage on Word and Excel was alright, but I'm sure someone has done better), I'm debating whether or not I even want to finish reading it. It may cover the exams, but don't rely on it if you've never used any Office products before. Print out the objectives from the MOUS website, buy yourself some decent study guides (even if it does cost more), then take the exam. If I could return it, I would.
