Excellent Starter Book-

By Westoncito - August 13, 2010

Like the other reviewers have said up to this point this is a great book. As the cover say it is Plain and Simple. So if you're looking for something that will teach you Microsoft Office inside out then you should look to another book. This book will help you to get a basic understanding of how to use each of the Office Professional 2010 applications. There is more emphasis placed on Word, Excel and power-point than the rest. The other programs Outlook, Publisher, One-note, Access and just a general overview of how the programs work together compose the lesser portion of the book. I think that it gives and adequate coverage of the applications.

The writing is tight, the pictures jump out at the page, and this is amazing. I simply cannot believe how much you get for so little money. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher, OneNote and more, it's all here.

Is this book for power users that want to learn how to do everything and anything in these apps? No, but that's not the target demographic here. If you want a book that will show you the basics and do it in an easy to learn way, look no further!!

***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Like it Says, "Plain and SImple

By Bruce638 "Bruce" - July 31, 2010

Like the other books in the "Plain and Simple" series, this book gives straight forward instructions about how to accomplish various tasks in Microsoft Office. While I am an experienced user of Microsoft Office, this book still has given me several new ideas about how to use the program suite. It does an excellent job of introducing new features in Office 2010.

As always, the "Plain and Simple" books do not use a lot of jargon, but get down to the subject in a clear concise way.
