Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a great resource tool! Everything you need to know, step by step, is listed clearly and plaining for navigating all the programs in 2007 Microsoft Office System.
I did not know the programs at all, but with the help of this book, I was able to submit several assignments using Word and Powerpoint, and got great grades! I'm an older person returning to college after many years, and was completely lost with these new systems that were required by my college. Once I received this book, making great presentations and writing professional looking papers were a snap. I highly recommend this book for the beginner or the anyone using these programs.
Book Review: True to its title
Summary: 5 Stars
Very clear, easy to follow, attractive looking. Everything is illustrated, so when it says, "#1 Click on this" if you don't know where this is, just look at the diagram and find #1. The only downside, although I'm sure it's its intended use, is that is really is a basic book, but even as an advanced user, I have learned from it with the painful switch (at least for me) to 2007. When I needed to make some graphs and charts QUICK after just getting 2007 (YIKES!!), this book so easily and quickly walked me right through it. It really saved me. I've been recommending to all I know who are novices with computers and just getting into Office 2007.Book Review: Plain & Simple 2007 Microsoft Office System
Summary: 5 Stars
Good book for beginners on up. It gives informative, point by point details on how to use the different office systems, including Word, Excel, Access, Power Point & Outlook. It is written in simple, easy to understand language, without all the "tech-speak" jargon so many other manuals on Microsoft Office Systems use.
This book can be used as a textbook for first timers--new to 2007 Microsoft Office, or near the computer at work as an easy, quick reference guide.
Highly recommended.
Book Review: Not so plain, but yes, simple!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for anyone who does not want any type of theory but just the information to get going on a project. Lots of great illustrations and just what this busy librarian needs who does not have time to go back to school for a computer science degree. The book contains easy to read page layouts with instructions on how to preform various task in a simple step by step manner. Who knew a marine biologist and former caterer could cook up such a book.
