Microsoft Office 2004 For Mac The No Nonsense Guide! (The No Nonsense Guide)

Rating:
Summary: Loved this book, very easy to follow
Review: I like the fact that each of the steps has a line showing me exactly where to click. Too many books just describe the actions and leave you wondering where you should be going. This book is great, I recommend it to anyone who is uprgrading to this version of Office.

Summary: Amazing Book - Easy to read, Tons of Info, Simple to follow
Review: The step by step instructions in this book made completing tasks in the new MS Word for Mac a breeze. There is a screen capture for every instruction so you never have to guess where to click. It also covers all of the application, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Entrourage. I especially enjoyed the section covering the new Presenter Tools in PowerPoint. I would recommend this to anyone looking to move to MS Office 2004 for the Mac.

Summary: Annoying and irritating
Review: There are two fundamental problems with this book. First, the level of user at whom it is pitched is very low. If you know where the power switch on your computer can be found, you will probably not learn much here that you didn't already know. Second, the layout and design of the book is awful. Every page is a mass of lines pointing to the applicable place on a screenshot where the feature under discussion can be found. It makes looking for and trying to read the material in which you are interested a confusing and unhappy experience. My advice to anyone interested in acquiring a useful Mac Office 2004 reference book is to look elsewhere.
