Microsoft Publisher 2002 BASICS, Third Edition

Rating:
Summary: Basic but disappointing
Review: I bought this book as a basic reference tool for learning MS Publisher 2002. It's well organized and simple to follow. And if you like using a classroom text without the benefit of the classroom, instructor OR any of the instructor files, this is the book for you. Otherwise, you should choose another. It frequently makes reference to instructor guides and tools that are not included. Instructions to "ask instructor..." pepper the text. It has more pages and has sold more on [Amazon.com] than other Publisher guides. Now I understand why. The text is full of projects and tests that are not needed unless you are in a classroom setting. I'm sure it's the students who are buying this book for class. Sample pages viewable on [Amazon.com] are not enough to judge content.
