Learning Microsoft Office 97

Rating:
Summary: Good value, good organization, very usable
Review: A very handy book, especially for people proficient in Word but not the rest of Office. If you fit this category, you will use it all the time. Nothing fancy, but it accurately and briefly describes using the Office applications on projects start to finish, as well as how to make corrrections and improvements after the fact. Good for people that need to get up and running with Excel and Access in a hurry. No wasted words. Spiral binding has been durable.

Summary: Outstanding! I've learned more than ever taught in a class!
Review: Bravo, bravo! This is the best self-taught or instructed book I have ever used! The explanations, examples and exercises are easy to understand and perform. I keep my book on the job and it occasionally disappears. Everyone that has borrowed it with or without my permission, tell me, it's really a great book. I have purchsed additional copies for my husband, daughter and friends. Thank you, ladies!

Summary: Definitely for the beginner
Review: I bought this book based on the good reviews here. I'm looking at taking my expert MOUS exams and am looking for something geared to that. This book advertises it's Microsoft Certification, but it's not for someone who is already a proficient user. If you want to know how to use menus, wizards and hotkeys, this is your text. If you want to learn about cross-tab queries, macro coding and exporting to ASP, this is not your book.

Summary: Learn Office really quick!
Review: I have been using these books for over 3 years in my computer classes at the high school and in the adult learning classes in the evening. It's easy to folow and offers mouse and keyboard methods with clear, easy to follow exercises. I have purchased over 50 books for Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Windows 95 and Access classes. These books are hard to find in my area (syracuse, New York).

Summary: Excellent book for adult learners and high school students.

Summary: Excellent guide for the new user
Review: I have used this book as a teaching tool in my Office classes. I find that it uses the techniques that real users need to use. The exercises are preceded by great explanations using simple ideas and concepts. I especially like the Keystrokes section after each exercise to show those of us that like using the keyboard more and the mouse less how to do things. Great writing. Now I need a similar book for Word Perfect 8 Suite.

Review: I needed to learn how to use Access quickly. I borrowed a copy of this book from another person in my office, and was so impressed with it that I decided to buy a copy to keep for myself. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it ideal for the first-time user or as a refresher text for those who use Microsoft Office 97 infrequently.
