Office for Dummies 2003 helpful but not all inclusive.......2007-04-04

This book certainly has value, but fails to fulfill expectations beyond the basic use of the various programs. There were many helpful tips, but for an advanced user, this book is not the answer. It is perfect for a beginner or early intermediate user of the programs and is a good reference for a person just getting started on these programs.

Office 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies.......2007-04-02

I bring the book with me to work and when I don't know how to perform a task with windows, the book walks me through it. It is a wonderful book to keep on my desk as well as help at home.

Excellent book teaches you the essentials and more!.......2007-03-26

I got this book really to learn more about Excel and Access, but I ended up reading the whole thing. I find it works best if you have the programs open and you can practice doing the things the author mentions in the book. As far as Excel goes, I've just about mastered that program after reading the section on it. At work I've put everything on spreadsheets now and it's made my life a whole lot easier!

At first I wasn't going to read the sections on Word or Outlook because I've been using those programs for many years and felt like I already knew everything. However, after reading the sections I was surprised by how much I didn't know. And how I had been doing things the 'hard way' because I was unaware of all the little short cuts and tricks. I highly recommend this book. I was able to go through 2 sections a day, so it took me less then a week to become proficient at Microsoft Office Suite.

Much helpful information.......2006-11-03

It has a lot of useful information on Word, Outlook and Windows XP. It usually always has the answer to any questions I have on these items. It is a great reference to have with our computers.

Invaluable Resource.......2006-06-29

This book has been every thing I had hoped it would be...an invaluable reference to have at one's elbow for quick help!

Project 2003 - Not For Dummies!.......2007-07-22

Earlier this year I purchased Project 2003 for Dummies and I must say that it has been a very useful tool. Since purchasing the book from Amazon I have been able to build and use Microsoft Project 2003 for a number of incentive and loyalty marketing projects that I have either launched or worked on. I would highly recommend Project 2003 for Dummies to anyone who needs to build or manage a project plan.

Book was in excellent condition.......2007-04-10

Ordered the book and received it promptly. Great service from Amazon.

Not the Best of the Dummies.......2007-03-19

I found this book very poorly organized. The author dives into technicalities before explaining the basics. For example, there are "tasks" and "subtasks." Tasks get immediate treatment, but then the book dives into calendars and effort management and other "advanced tab" topics without explaining subtasks, and how subtasks are entered. Even though there are examples in chapters 1-4 using subtasks, subtasks are not explained until chapter 5 (that's right, FIVE). Examples on page 65 and 78 show subtasks, but you don't learn how to enter one until page 93.
I spent a lot of time going back and re-reading, trying to find out if I missed something so that I could duplicate the examples - a lot of wasted time.
Starting with a complete and simple project, and then adding layers of complication on to it, would have been a much more effective approach. Overall, I am not happy with this book. In most "for dummies" books I can get up and running on a basic level in a few hours. I am now at hour four, page 85, and just about to learn about tasks and subtasks.

About what I expected.......2007-01-12

This was a good book. As with all the "dummies" books it was fairly straightforward. Pretty basic. It is a good place to start.

A Good Start.......2006-03-20

This manuel was an excellent start for some of us "dummies" out there. Though I have signed up for a Project Class to be taken in person, this book as definately helped me to get by with a little help from the Dummy Writers.

Customer Reviews:

Great for the beginner, but that's about it........2007-01-26

If you are looking for in-depth instruction on the more advanced features in Microsoft Office 2003, this is not the book for you. If you've never used a computer before, this will be a great reference. In either case, however, the humor is cheesy and often exhibits extremely poor judgment on the part of the author. If you're easily offended, find something else.

Info on Word and Outlook.......2006-11-03

It has some different information on Word. It was more helpful to me for Outlook. It has good information on E-Mail, Contacts and Calendars. I liked the Chapter on "Ten Common Microsoft Office 2003 Shortcuts".

Dummy No More.......2006-08-14

This is an excellent book for both beginners and those more knowledgeable about the software. It is well laid out and easy to follow. It can be used as a quick reference or as a learning tool for folks newer to the programs. I have a Student/Teacher Version of the software that has only Word, Excel, Power Point and Access and have already found it quite helpful.

Helped a Computer Dummie.......2005-07-07

What a great help for a senior trying to enter the computer world! I found the instructions quiet easy to read and understand. Highly recommend this book.

Simple Solutions to Office Frustrations.......2005-01-27

Does anyone else get annoyed with the ever-changing pull-down menus and toolbars in recent versions of Office? Microsoft says it's to help people save time -- but to me it's a time waster when you have to play hide-and-seek with the underline icon - or wait for the full menu to pop out when you need Page Setup. The solution is simple, but I probably would have never known it before buying this book.

More than just offering solutions to Office's quirks, the book also aims to help you set up your programs more effectively, show you things you probably never even thought they could do, and solves hidden security issues for: Office in general, Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Access. With a detailed TOC and index, you can quickly find what you're looking for and the tips themselves are easy to follow.

I've been an MS Office user for about nine years, so I'll admit I was skeptical at first about how much I could learn from the book. But as a heavy Word user, I think that section alone has already been worth the price.
