Microsoft Publisher 97 by Design

Rating:
Summary: An intuitive, well designed approach to using MS-Publisher.
Review: As a long-time user of Microsoft Publisher, I was hesitant to pick up a copy of this book; I should not have hesistated at all. Luisa Simone's book on MS-Publisher 97, Microsoft Publisher by Design, not only is an excellent guide to the technical aspects of the software but a guide to content and design as well. Ms. Simone makes excellent use of screen shots and real-life applications to take readers through the step-by-step creation of 13 different projects, all without relying on templates or software "wizards". Her keen insight to publication design and her ability to anticipate the need for "hand-holding" makes this an invaluable guide for new and experienced users alike. For anyone that is thinking of purchasing MS-Publisher 97, as well as for those who are "hardened veterans" of the program, this is a definitive guide; a must-have in your library. Microsoft would have done well to have made this the manual that came with the program
