Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As office productivity suites grow more capable and network-wise, the demand placed upon their users--who typically are everyday office workers, with no particular interest in software technology--grows dramatically. That's why a carefully compiled manual, like Microsoft Office XP Inside Out, is invaluable in an organisation that expects its employees to use the new features of Microsoft Office XP. This book won't hold your interest if you attempt to read it straight through, and indeed it may strain your back when you lift it off the shelf. On the other hand, if you want a concise but comprehensive tutorial on the use of Excel's PMT function or FrontPage's new ability to output XML code--or any of hundreds of other details--this book has your number. Just check the jumbo-sized index.
The book could have paid more attention to automating Office XP with Visual Basic. Even though more space is devoted to the programming language than most of the competition and the book does a good job of explaining the core language and key objects, a lot of its capabilities go unmentioned.
Otherwise, the authors do a wonderful job of explaining procedures and concepts whose power lies in their details. In explaining features they'll typically present a procedure that covers the generic case then discuss variations on that theme in longer paragraphs and special sidebars. As is the trend in books such as this, screen shots are augmented with labels and instructions--this aids clarity and speeds up the answer-finding process. --David Wall
Topics covered: Everything that the programs in the Microsoft Office XP suite--Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Exchange, FrontPage, and Publisher--can do, including customisation via Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Creating, formatting, editing, sharing, storing and the rest of the work that Office assists with is covered.

Format:Paperback
This is a superb book for the intermediate/advanced user. As an IT trainer, I have found it invaluable - the highlighted "new features" pages make it very easy to use. Those of you still using Office 2000 will also find much of use. The only (very minor) criticism I have is I would have liked more on VBA, but there are other sources for this...
All in all, I would recommend this book very highly (and I have to my colleagues!). I would consider myself to be an Office power user, but I found many useful tips and tricks in this book. If you have any doubts, put them to one side and get this book - you won't regret it.

Oscillates between too little and too much information
22 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The most positive aspect of this book is that is also available as an ebook on its accompanying CD. It is certainly a starter book on Office XP, and there is probably not enough in each section to develop a depth of expertise. The section on VBA for instance is fairly general. However, if you are trying to come to terms with Office as a whole for the first time this is a worthwhile book compared with many others of similar size.
However, let me add one caveat. There is a companion volume 'XP Inside Out' which covers a lot of the ground covered in this book. I would recommend buying that volume first and then decide if you need Office XP Inside Out or one of the application specific Inside Out books.

Top of its Class
14 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback
I bought this book only a few days ago without seeing any others on the market. It is well layed out and easy to read. I use it mostly as a reference book because I am very familiar with Office 2000 already. However, if you are new to the Office Suite and want to learn from scratch, this book can do it. It highlights all the new things in Office XP and the CD included has the entire book in "ebook" version making search and query a cinch. After seeing a few other books out on the subject, I couldn't have made a better choice...its perfect!

Microsoft Office XP Inside Out
31 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
This book is a must for anyone purchasing Office XP. The small books you receive with the software are excerpts out of this book! You can be up and running with all the programs included in Office XP Professional edition. The companion CD which comes with the book allows you to place the entire book on your hard drive. The CD is worth more than the cost of the book alone. It has tons of information on using the individual programs in concert with each other. It contains many macros', tools and additional features. There are six other "Inside Out" books like this book, except they deal with the individual programs. The book contains over 1580 pages, and by placing them in your computer, you will be able to have access for the exact item that you are dealing with at that time. We certainly expect to obtain all the other books in this series.
