Description:
If you're aiming for Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) certification or just want to make your workday more productive, Office 2000: the Complete Reference will work wonders for you. Comprehensive, well illustrated, and intelligently organized, it offers the information you need whether you're writing reports, adding to your database, or scheduling your day. Best of all, it has a large section on integrating the different components of Office, as the 2000 versions have been optimized for working together. Author Stephen L. Nelson cuts through much of the nonsense of other guidebooks and concentrates on the "best possible way" to complete each task simply and efficiently. This philosophy eliminates much of the confusion found elsewhere by authors who try to explain too much. The accompanying CD-ROM contains templates and samples referenced in the text, as well as some useful preparatory software made for MOUS certification. The thin coverage of FrontPage presents a potentially serious omission. If you do not plan to publish on the Web, or if you intend to get a FrontPage-specific manual, this shouldn't affect you. Overall, this is an outstanding package of instruction and reference for the intermediate Microsoft Office user. --Rob Lightner
