Summary: Don't even bother!!
Review: As a student in a legal secretary program, I was required to buy this book, as it is part of the curriculum. Well let me be the first to say that it is a total waste of the [money] I paid for it! It is filled with typos and instructional errors. Before I can learn the software it is supposed to be teaching me, I have to first decypher the directions. I may as well just wing it, the book is no help. I recommend to anyone about to purchase this book, to think again. Look for a book you might actually learn from!

Summary: Good Book!
Review: I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about! Maybe they didn't read the book! I found the book to be extremely helpful. I didn't see any typos, or instructional errors (whatever that means!). It was required for my paralegal class and I thought I got my money's worth. I got a CD with free software and I thought it was worth every penny. It covers a wide range of computer uses in law offices and it was easy to read and practical. My teacher said she has been using this book for years. The other people in my class didn't seem to have any problem with it. I highly recommend it. It wasn't written for secretarys - it's for paralegals - maybe that was the other reviewers problem. Anyway, don't hesitate to buy it, you won't be sorry.

Summary: This be expensive
Review: Lots of money to pay for a book that is probably less involved then most and babies you beginning with a Microsoft word document. The only reason I am buying it is for a Paralegal Class and the teacher is even confused by some of the things that pop up. Don't waste your money if you can avoid buying this book!

Summary: Mandatory purchase that disappointed me
Review: My legal secretary class was required to purchase this book at a costly price. I had problems with it from the start! Typo's, instructional errors, How are you supposed to learn? I regretfully have to recommend against it.
