Performing with Microsoft Office: Projects for the Entrepreneur for Microsoft Office XP and 2000

Rating:
Summary: Thoroughly and consistently unhelpful.
Review: I have typed many reviews on Amazon. For most of the things to which I have given bad ratings, I typed the review with disappointment or frustration or sometimes even amusement. This is the first negative review I have given for a product that has made me angry on multiple occasions (most recently, about 15 minutes ago).

Suppose you were taking a college algebra course and you had multiple classes and curriculums to choose from (and therefore different algebra textbooks for each class). Wouldn't you be thrilled to get the class that used the textbook without instructions? Unless you're an algebra-fan, probably not. In fact, a normal person would never intentionally take on any task or project of any kind that they were unfamiliar with unless they had a clear, concise set of instructions to guide them.

This textbook contains no such instructions.

There are many different Microsoft Office textbooks out there, and most of them are probably far more helpful than this one. I would ask any professors who read this to choose a more student-friendly textbook for their curriculum.

For college students who come across these words, I strongly recommend avoiding the purchase and use of this textbook. If you need to take a computer course that requires this textbook, then I would recommend choosing another course with a better text. I would recommend avoiding professors (and I'm sorry, but I have to say this) who are careless enough to choose this textbook or, for that matter, any textbook that fails to provide instructions on completion of the coursework therein.

Please, save yourself the frustrations and anger that I now have to deal with.
