Summary: Typical Microsoft
Review: After having this book for only one day, I gave up and returned it. There are numerous editing errors throughout. For instance, In the middle of the Outlook 2000 section, some color-coded guide tabs and page headings read "Access 2000".Also, the index refers to wrong or misplaced pages. Further searching reveals particular index entries are nowhere to be found. Clearly rushed to press without much editing or forethought. Office 2000 "Professional"? Hardly.

Summary: Great Introduction To Microsoft Office 2000
Review: Book was very helpful at introducing me to the features of Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. I really liked that it explained all the operations available in the suite while placing a 2000 symbol next to features that were new within the 2000 version. This let me skip only to the new features that I wanted to learn about but provided me a reference book I could use for the whole application.

Summary: Big Fat Book, but
Review: I am surprised that no one has sent in a review for this text. These two guys write the flagship instruction text for Microsoft Office, and have been doing it successfully for years. You can't beat them for a fun, clear, information. I have written many a manual in my day, and these guys are some of the best around. This book is especially useful if you are getting ready for a testing job interview and need to brush up on some of the things you don't use every day.

Summary: Writing "Running Microsoft Office 2000 Premium"
Review: I've been using and writing about Microsoft Office applications for over a decade now. But I haven't forgotten how frustrating it can sometimes be to learn to use sophisticated software applications such as those in Office 2000 Premium. When we wrote "Running Microsoft Office 2000 Premium," Michael Halvorson and I did everything we could to make it easier for you to master these programs, and to make your experience with Office productive and enjoyable. We also tried to anticipate the questions and problems you might have along the way, and to provide useful answers and solutions. But of course we couldn't anticipate all your questions and problems. So we've included our e-mail addresses in the book and we really want to hear from you if you encounter any obstacles, or if you want to send us some feedback (praise is always nice!). We've also created a Web site for the book to provide ongoing support. Michael and I are both enthusiasts who enjoy discussing Office.

Summary: Very difficult to follow and some pages are misprinted
Review: Running Microsoft Office 2000 Professional has a nice book cover that is for sure, but I made a mistake in buying this book. First, the contents are very difficult to following because it has lot of information that is repeated over and over. Second, in Outlook there are some misprinted pages - got pages of Access in there. What was the publisher doing??? Obviously didn't pay much attention to proofread this book nor give it at least a once over. The only thing this book is good for is to use as a very heavy and expensive paper weight. If you want a good book, I suggest "Teach Yourself Visually Microsoft Office 2000" by Ruth Maran OR "Master Microsoft Office 2000 Visually" by Ruth Maran and Paul Whitehead. These books will at least get you started in getting familiar with using the programs. And then when you are passed the beginners level, you can look for other books that cover each program more in depth.

Summary: Constant updates give readers new content
Review: Running Office 2000 is the most comprehensive one-source answer book available--we designed this book to answer the majority of questions and issues that a new or upgrading business user will ask about. Does Running Office 2000 replace all single-application books? Not quite--such a book would need to be almost 6,000 pages long! But you'll be surprised with what one book can do--we consistently hear from our readers that we explain the features and solutions they need most in the workplace. Our "constant update" feature also gives the book a flexibility few competitive titles offer. Running Office 2000 has a dedicated Microsoft web site associated with it that contains breaking information about Office, resource lists, corrections, and other information. A new and enhanced downloadable index is also available on this web site that fixes a few mistakes in the index and provides readers with something that they can use rapidly online. Over 10MB of sample files are also available free on the web site--we don't charge extra for a bound-in companion CD. Running Office 2000 is *the* one-book source to Microsoft Office 2000!
