Mastering Lotus Smartsuite: Millennium Edition/Premium Editon (Mastering)

Rating:
Summary: Good book for beginners
Review: Fight the power! (of Bill Gates) and purchase a great alternative to Microsoft Office. Lotus Smartsuite Millenium Edition may not be as ubiquitous as Microsoft Office, but it is extremely powerful and well integrated. Understanding its basics and nuances can be a daunting task. Not only does this book do the definitive job of explaining the fine things the program has to offer, it gives you extra chapters on Lotus Notes, free trial software (including the SmartSuite itself) and the entire 1350 copied electronically so you can read it on computer. It does it all in a matter-of-fact, accessible style that even the intermediate user can make sense of. It not only helped me delve into the real power of the program, it also illucidated for me what a true bargain Lotus SmartSuite was for the money.

Review: This a good book for beginners but does not go beyond the basics. If you have extensively used 123 or Symphony you will not find this book very helpful. It is a basic manual not a "howto" book. For old time Lotus fans it is a good paper weight.

Rating:
Summary: It's a great and "smart" book.
Review: Very well produced, using an easy (but serious) language
