Product Description:
Special Edition Using Microsoft® Office 2007
THE ONLY OFFICE BOOK YOU NEED
We crafted this book to grow with you, providing the reference material you need as you move toward Office proficiency and use of more advanced features. If you buy only one book on Office 2007, Special Edition Using Microsoft® Office 2007 is the only book you need.
If you own a copy of Office 2007, you deserve a copy of this book! Although this book is aimed at the Office veteran, Ed and Woody’s engaging style will appeal to beginners, too. Written in clear, plain English, readers will feel as though they are learning from real humans and not Microsoft clones. Sprinkled with a wry sense of humor and an amazing depth of field, this book most certainly isn’t your run-of-the-mill computer book. You should expect plenty of hands-on guidance and deep but accessible reference material.
This isn’t your Dad’s Office! For the first time in a decade, Microsoft has rolled out an all-new user interface. Menus? Gone. Toolbars? Gone. For the core programs in the Office family, you now interact with the program using the Ribbon–an oversize strip of icons and commands, organized into multiple tabs, that takes over the top of each program’s interface. If your muscles have memorized Office menus, you’ll have to unlearn a lot of old habits for this version.

I have never spent so much money on such a large volume that has so little useful information. If you are using Vista, check the other books available, this focuses on XP. I also bought 'Using Outlook 2007' and it is the same. The reading and explanations are easy to follow and understand, but I have found only a couple in each book that actually work. I do not know whether the high ratings given these books are XP users who have used limited information; but the ratings sure fooled me. I borrowed ... Read More

I am very displeased espcially now that I have found out the Kindle version is only $2.31 cheaper than the hard copy. What a rip off! The pictures (figures)are also very hard to see on the Kindle screen. I am going to see if Amazon will let me erase the copy from my Kindle, the backup from Amazon and refund my money so I can buy the hard copy.

If you want to be able to find out a little about most of the components of Office 2007, this is easier to use than the online Help. I wish there was a CD for faster look-up. (Just what is OneNote?)

This book has not been a useful reference book. It doesn't go into enough depth on any topic. If you have used Microsoft software, do not buy this book.

The book seems well written, but not quite as detailed as I need. I see that I will need to buy the Using Word 2007 to get as much detail as I want. Still, this book gives a great overview of the whole suite and probably has a much info as most users will want.
