Learning Microsoft Office 97: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access : Professional Version

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: 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 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: This book helped me learn office 97 verly quickly. The CD that it comes with cuts down your typing time so you have more time to work with the program. It only took me about 1 and a half months to learn how to use every office program (Word, Excel, PPT, and Access). A great gift idea for anyone that needs help with word processing.
