FINALLY, A BOOK THAT REALLY TEACHES & IT'S EASY
I'VE PURCHASED A LOT OF BOOKS TO TEACH ME COMPUTER PROGRAMS. THIS ONE MAKES IT EASY TO LEARN "OFFICE 2000" WITHOUT PAIN OR FRUSTRATION. IT'S USER FRIENDLY WITH LOTS OF PICTURES, LABELS AND EASY STEPS TO FOLLOW. IT'S A WINNER, BUT DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDS BORROW IT!

Big Price and Well Worth It
This a great book to use when learning Office 2000. It's easy to understand and has lots of screen pictures and labels to help you on your way. The instructions are clear and can help even the true beginner learn each program with the least possible discomfort and frustration.

Great Book just skip the first chapters about computers!!!
The book is great but it is written for people who never had experience with computers. So I would advise anyone to skip those intial chapters. I highly recommend getting the spiral bound edition because the book is about the size of a major city's Yellow Pages and it is easier to handle.

The screen-by-screen instruction is terrific but of course, I ignore directions such as (open window, hit save, etc..). The lessons at the end of each project allow you to perform the lessons that you just learned. I would advise that you download the lessons on your computer instead of to a disk like the book recommends. Since I was just laid off, the book is great for brushing up on programs that you don't really use on a daily basis. I am planning to get the advanced versions of the book very soon.
