If you've paid for Office 2000 Premium, the top-of-the-line version of Microsoft's productivity suite, you owe it to yourself to have a complete software reference on hand. Running Microsoft Office 2000 Premium includes exactly the sort of detailed how-to information you need on each application's features and tools. It's a great choice for individuals and businesses that live and die by their Office 2000 skills. Running Microsoft Office 2000 Premium takes the classic approach of comprehensive Office books--it tackles the applications one at a time and explains each application's functions and capabilities using stepped procedures along the way. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, Publisher, FrontPage, and PhotoDraw each get a turn in the spotlight. The authors explain the basics of each application before working up to its specialized features. You'll also find a bit about the Small Business Tools and coverage of multiapplication tasks like creating a compound document or using Binder to hold multiple files together for easy management. While it covers basic facts and skills, you'll also find advanced user information in Running Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. The authors include an introduction to macro-writing that sheds light on some of the most useful features of Visual Basic for Applications. --David Wall

 Very difficult to follow and some pages are misprinted July 9, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Running Microsoft Office 2000 Professional has a nice book cover that is for sure, but I made a mistake in buying this book. First, the contents are very difficult to following because it has lot of information that is repeated over and over. Second, in Outlook there are some misprinted pages - got pages of Access in there. What was the publisher doing??? Obviously didn't pay much attention to proofread this book nor give it at least a once over. The only thing this book is good for is to use as a very heavy and expensive paper weight. If you want a good book, I suggest "Teach Yourself Visually Microsoft Office 2000" by Ruth Maran OR "Master Microsoft Office 2000 Visually" by Ruth Maran and Paul Whitehead. These books will at least get you started in getting familiar with using the programs. And then when you are passed the beginners level, you can look for other books that cover each program more in depth.
 Big Fat Book, but July 6, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book because I thought since it is from Microsoft Press publishing their own materials on the programs the company itself designed, I thought it would be easier to read and use and quicker to learn the programs, but that was not the case. This book was dry as hell, with lots of useless jargon. Some of the materials are very repetitve just to make the book larger and look valuable. Even highlighting it did not help to retain the information. For anyone who wants to master the programs, you need to find other books. For beginners, the visual books with pictures are fun and quick to learn. For the intermediate to more advance people, check out other books. Too bad cannot rate this big fat useless book with a zero, if I could, I would. Even rate it in the negative integers.
Running Microsoft Office 2000 April 11, 2003

I am surprised that no one has sent in a review for this text. These two guys write the flagship instruction text for Microsoft Office, and have been doing it successfully for years. You can't beat them for a fun, clear, information. I have written many a manual in my day, and these guys are some of the best around. This book is especially useful if you are getting ready for a testing job interview and need to brush up on some of the things you don't use every day.
 Typical Microsoft September 9, 1999

After having this book for only one day, I gave up and returned it. There are numerous editing errors throughout. For instance, In the middle of the Outlook 2000 section, some color-coded guide tabs and page headings read "Access 2000".Also, the index refers to wrong or misplaced pages. Further searching reveals particular index entries are nowhere to be found. Clearly rushed to press without much editing or forethought. Office 2000 "Professional"? Hardly.
Complete Waste of Trees and Money! August 28, 1999
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
This book contained neither detailed nor summary information on either of the two progams I was using: Word and Front Page. It is not targeted at beginners or advanced users. Instead it is a hodge podge of topics; most of them irrelevant to what I wanted to do. Even though the book is physically huge it covers very little in total because there are so many programs involved.As context I have been using Word and Front Page since their very early versions. In Word I was simply trying to figure out why things were being formatted in such a strange way (I know--futile). For Front Page I was looking for an introduction to the new features and new interface. Save your money unless you need a colorful doorstop.
