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.

Book was very helpful at introducing me to the features of Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. I really liked that it explained all the operations available in the suite while placing a 2000 symbol next to features that were new within the 2000 version. This let me skip only to the new features that I wanted to learn about but provided me a reference book I could use for the whole application.

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.

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.
