Product Description
If you have Microsoft Office 2003 For Dummies and just use it to create documents and for e–mail, that’s like having the ultimate gourmet kitchen and only cooking frozen dinners or having a 42” plasma high–definition, sound surround TV and only watching old reruns. This book will help you take control of Office 2003 and use it to take control of your life—at work or at home. It covers Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access. (Note that not all versions of Office 2003 have Access.) You’ll learn how to create all kinds of documents, set up and use databases, create spreadsheets and do all kinds of numerical calculations and computations, and present your creations in style. With detailed explanations and screen shots, this guide covers:

VERY Basic at Best

Format:Paperback
If you have used any MS Office product and are remotely familiar with topics such as Cut and Paste, Save as..., basic formatting, or anything similar, save your time, your money and your sanity by steering clear of this book. 99% of the information is available under the Help menu.
This book is only good for those just entering the computer world.

Dummy No More

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book for both beginners and those more knowledgeable about the software. It is well laid out and easy to follow. It can be used as a quick reference or as a learning tool for folks newer to the programs. I have a Student/Teacher Version of the software that has only Word, Excel, Power Point and Access and have already found it quite helpful.
