he has been the technical editor on numerous books published by Microsoft

various Microsoft products. As a programmer, he has tried for many years to
make using a computer as simple as using a toaster, but he has yet to
succeed. Marianne Moon has worked in the publishing world for many years as
proofreader, editor, and writer--sometimes all three simultaneously. She

written and edited documentation for Microsoft products such as Microsoft

Mouse, and Greetings Workshop.
Customer Reviews
Simple rather than plain
I bought this book in the hope that it would help me to migrate from Office XP to Office 2007; the two pages on the ribbon helped me a lot but much of the rest is too lightweight for anyone who already knows a previous version of Office.
In the section on Word the book tells me that "Templates are completely customizable" but makes no mention of how to customize them which is a major issue given that the default font is Colibri and the default line spacing is 1.15 (don't despair - you just modify the style and click a box that asks for the template to be changed as well).
The section on pivot tables in Excel is even cuter; the book tells me that "it can sometimes be a bit difficult to figure out the proper arrangement of the data fields". This is a completely accurate statement but I would have benefited from some guidance on how to figure out a proper arrangement.
In summary this is a book that tells you about problems that you are likely to have but remains silent on what you can do about them.
office 2007 plain and simple just as it says in the title
one of the best books ive bought from amazon it is just what it says on the cover
brilliant book for a newbie of office
