Having received 'the software' as a gift from a friend, I installed it immediately. When I attempted to 'use' it, I realized that this was not the 'old' office I was used to and I would need some help. That help was provided in the form of this book and the accompanying CD. Both have proved to be very useful tools. The book is thorough and tabulated to quickly divide each section, and the CD has sample documents and additional templates for use with the software, and also shareware that I have utilized. As I am in the book-selling business, I am always on the lookout for a 'good read' to recommend to friends.
