 Excel, one of the most useful spreadsheet products available. June 24, 2008

I always enjoy learning how to do data studies and Excel is the best for doing so. People at work are amazed that Excel can do so much and this book can teach you the nifty tricks.
 Must have faith to use this "Bible" February 23, 2008

I purchased this book on using Microsoft Word to bring me up to speed on the program as I have been using WordPerfect for the last 18 years (I used Word on Macs when it first came out in the 80's but my office (as were most) used PC's and WordPerfect so I long ago switched).
I write long reports that have different headers and footers, different what Word would refer to as "sections", use charts and graphs and use complex tables and so forth. My reports run between 40 and 100 pages. So, switching over was going to be a big project.
I purchased the book because it was a four star book as rated on Amazon. I must say it is comphresive and very verbose. However, what I find is that on probaby 50% of the issues that are somewhat complicated, the book does come through. Examples: I use bullets in the reports. Word generates some sort of "box" when you attempt to use a bullet and that box has limits so after a while it will not let you enter any more text. The book never mentions the box (or describes it in any way I can understand that is what they are talking about) in conjunction with bullet points. Another example: There is an explaination of how "sections" work so you can change a header for different sections. I could not get it to work. I have spent probably five hours on three different occassions re-reading and trying things. It does not work and there is no troubleshooting on what might be happening.
Those are examples of the major problems I have with the book. Another annoying problem is that the index is very poor. What I mean there is that it is extensive but the page reference is wrong about half the time and sometimes the "indexed" word might be mentioned in a sentence, but it is really not a topic. For instance: Unit of measure. My Word seems to be stuck on CM's as unit of measure. The book gives a specific page to talk about "unit of measure". However the page just states that Word uses inches as a standard but does not tell you how to change it.
Covering everything about this complex progam is a big task. But, I think this book, in its present form, disappoints.

These books are thorough, as is this. It is a compendium that I always keep at my desk.

This is one book that the Word user should have in their library. I especially like the fact that it is the only book I have found that addresses the subject of field codes in some depth. It is a good source and the explanations are detailed enough for any user to follow. You won't be disappointed buying this book for sure!
Very pleased July 24, 2006

The book is excellent. I had just upgraded the program and needed a book for support. I've already used it to help me with some obscure setups doing my newsletter. Frank Reid
