Mastering and Using Microsoft Office 2000 Comprehensive Course: Enhanced Edition

Rating:
Summary: Unacceptable Amount of Errors in Manual
Review: I teach the MOUS certification courses for Office 2000, and this is a great text. Good mix of colorful graphics, easy how-to's and authentic projects that make the text really work. I also purchased the teachers guide and now have the powerpoints, assessments, etc., so the course can really be more effective. Hate to gush, but this is a great bargain, esp. whn you compare it to the single-category books that would end up costing you about $300.00

Summary: Unacceptable Amount of Errors in Manual
Review: I wanted to add my findings of this book. I am an instructor at a technical college and this book was selected due to it's graphic and layouts. On the surface, it looks like a well done publication. Once you start using it for a guide, it becomes nothing short of a nightmare. This book has more than an acceptabe amount of errors in it. The files that are enclosed with the book more times than not do not coordinate with the book. There are too many incorrect statements and just plain wrong examples to count.

Besides the errors, this book picks very complex examples in which to explain new concepts.

I would strongly encourange anybody that is serious about learning Microsoft Access to purchase another publication.

Overall Rating: Thumbs down!
