Editorial ReviewSpecial Edition Using Microsoft® Office 2007 THE ONLY OFFICE BOOK YOU NEED We crafted this book to grow with you, providing the reference material you need as you move toward Office proficiency and use of more advanced features. If you buy only one book on Office 2007, Special Edition Using Microsoft® Office 2007 is the only book you need. If you own a copy of Office 2007, you deserve a copy of this book! Although this book is aimed at the Office veteran, Ed and Woody's engaging style will appeal to beginners, too. Written in clear, plain English, readers will feel as though they are learning from real humans and not Microsoft clones. Sprinkled with a wry sense of humor and an amazing depth of field, this book most certainly isn't your run-of-the-mill computer book. You should expect plenty of hands-on guidance and deep but accessible reference material. This isn't your Dad's Office! For the first time in a decade, Microsoft has rolled out an all-new user interface. Menus? Gone. Toolbars? Gone. For the core programs in the Office family, you now interact with the program using the Ribbon-an oversize strip of icons and commands, organized into multiple tabs, that takes over the top of each program's interface. If your muscles have memorized Office menus, you'll have to unlearn a lot of old habits for this version. Ed Bott is an award-winning computer journalist and one of the most widely recognized voices in the computing world, with nearly two decades of experience as a writer and editor at leading magazines, such as PC World, PC Computing, and Smart Business.

- Be Careful!!!!!!
I have never spent so much money on such a large volume that has so little useful information. If you are using Vista, check the other books available, this focuses on XP. I also bought 'Using Outlook 2007' and it is the same. The reading and explanations are easy to follow and understand, but I have found only a couple in each book that actually work. I do not know whether the high ratings given these books are XP users who have used limited information; but the ratings sure fooled me. I borrowed a... more info
- Would prefer the hard copy
I am very displeased espcially now that I have found out the Kindle version is only $2.31 cheaper than the hard copy. What a rip off! The pictures (figures)are also very hard to see on the Kindle screen. I am going to see if Amazon will let me erase the copy from my Kindle, the backup from Amazon and refund my money so I can buy the hard copy.
- A good general reference.
If you want to be able to find out a little about most of the components of Office 2007, this is easier to use than the online Help. I wish there was a CD for faster look-up. (Just what is OneNote?)
- Not a good reference book
This book has not been a useful reference book. It doesn't go into enough depth on any topic. If you have used Microsoft software, do not buy this book.
