Customer Reviews

You need this book to get the best from Office
I use Office on my PC but have only recently been using it on my MAC.

I am not reviewing the programme, rather the book. However I would say that since Office comes with little paperwork to get the best from the software you need a reference book. OI like the Dummy books. Easy to follow and I love the jokes at the start of the chapters.

I have not read the book cover to cover but rather delve in when I need assistance. I use Word and Excel most and the book has helped me when I have had problems and I have now started following the books instructions to really get full power from both of those programmes.

I would recommend Dummies to any end user. This book helped me and will help the average Joe. Unlike Microsoft reference books this is easy to follow and use.

Got Office for Mac - then you need this.
