Summary: Forget the rest -- this is the one and only!
Review: I've dealt with my share of program guide books, and I've never found one as readable, helpful, and well organized as this. These guys tell do an amazing job of getting the info across. For example, I have a so-called "complete reference" for FrontPage2000 that tells me less in 953 pages than this book does in just 175! And no, I am NOT kidding! There are plenty of great tricks and shortcuts, helpful graphics and a varied layout that keeps things from getting tedious. The prose is refreshingly conversational and not "tech" heavy. Woody's other book ("WL Teaches MS Office 2000") is good, but not nearly as comprehensive. And for once, a book provides a CD ROM with genuinely useful software, not just "trial" programs that amount to little more than advertising. If you or your office team need the full lowdown on MS 2000 in one book, this is the only choice. Compared to what it would cost to either take courses or buy complete books on each program in the MS 2000 suite, this book is a remarkable bargain.

Summary: The Best Office 2000 book by the Best Office 2000 authors.
Review: If you are not a developer, this is the only Office 2000 book you will ever need. As usual, Woody Leonhard (not to slight co-author Ed Bott) has produced the definitive guide to Office 2000. I've read his books religiously since the old Word for Windows days, and no one beats his understanding of what makes Office tick. You'll get the unvarnished truth--good and bad--about Office, not just a re-written Help file. Every chapter contains one final section: "Secrets of the Office Masters" which is often worth the price of the book itself. Add to this a registered copy of Woody's Office Power Pack on CD and no other book can touch the value and plain usefulness of this one. Just get it, and don't look back.

Summary: If you get Office 2000, you must have this book!
Review: It is impossible to grasp the potential of Office 2000 without a guide, and you can't do better than this book. It lets you easily unlock all of the toys, tools and tricks of Office 2000. It's clearly laid-out, well-written, with amazing detail and no-bs information. The tips alone are worth 3 times the price of the book. I purchased Ed Bott's last book and use it constantly. (And I am familiar with both Mr. Bott and Woody Leonhard as resident gurus at PC Computing magazine.) I shopped around with Office 2000, and came back to them again. This book IS the best one out there.

Summary: Great value
Review: The book is very comprehensive, and a great value considering the software that comes with it. If ever I saw a book that begged to be published on DVD in HTML format, Office 2000 is it. Anyone installing Office 2000 should consider reading appendixe A before starting the install, so you can have it your way.

Summary: For real life, everyday use.
Review: This book has lots of good basic instruction, handy tricks, and cool scripts/plugins. It is the antithesis of a per-menu-item manual; it is task-oriented, focused, useful. Can't go wrong with this if you want to do some specific tasks with Office.

Summary: Awesome writer
Review: This book is awesome -- a real page turner. The author has a special way with words; unlike other computer manuals, this author reels you in and captures your mind. He's the best. He needs to write more. He rocks, man.

Summary: Jack of all trades, master of none
Review: This book is not very helpful for anyone. It tries to cover all the apps in the Office 2000 Premium package, but ends up covering none well. If you want to look for basic information on these packages, this is not the book, either, because the coverage is not only superficial, but full of inaccuracies and horrible grammatical errors. The index is all but useless, as is the entire book.
