 Too hard to follow. June 30, 1999
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
It's a stream of consciousness, confusing to follow. It was hard to learn even basic information on any task.
Not Worth the Money!!! November 24, 1998

I had much higher expectations for this book...perhaps too high. Normally the Dummies line is rather well thought out and explains most application attributes fairly well. I found this book to be dull, lifeless, and the author focusing more on humor than useful information to keep his reader from putting down this book. One major gripe is in the area on the "mail merge" function as it relates to "envelopes and labels." The explanation of this function becomes too hairy even for experienced computer users, and needs to be revised extensively. If you have no other recourse, this book will, at least, get you started. However, if you need something with a little more bite...I'd recommend the Visual QuickStart Guide.
too simple, even for beginner. doesn't get you very far. August 23, 1998

I had a lot of expectations for this book which were not realized. I didn't really learn much more than some simple acrobatics. anyone who needs to use microsoft office 98 in a real office (home or business) won't learn enough in this book.

I would rank this book as good. I don't believe it was aimed at the "high-end" of Office users, so I would have to say it accomplished what it set out to do: give a basic, easy to follow introduction to Office 98. However, if you learn fast or require a little more depth, you might consider something else. All in all a solid introduction, however.
