Review
'...It's billed as the book that should have been in the box. Quite how this could be physically accomplished we don't know, but It's impossible to disagree with the sentiment. The book does full justice to the four powerful applications that make up Office 2001 and would be perfect for all types of users. Barber and Reynolds have produced an incredibly well-written and well-structured tome. Both basic and advanced functions are dealt with admirably. It's one thing knowing how to do something, but another to learn exactly why It's good to use particular features, and surprisingly, this is done in a manner that does not irritate or patronise the reader ... no mean feat. Layout is excellent and pleasing to the eye. Over 400 screen shots are included, which really help understanding and rarely seem superfluous, as do the decent number of tips and box-outs provided. The writers appear genuinely to understand how people will wish to use Office 2001 and include sections that others may not have thought necessary ... for example, how to use a PDA with Entourage or import FileMaker data. All in all, an immensely useful and enjoyable read.' Verdict 5 stars. MacFormat, August 2001 - Editor's Choice 'One for the reference shelf.' Freelance Informer, July 27th 2001
