Summary: Quick Course/Microsoft Publisher 2000 - Don't bet on it
Review: A word of warning to those who believe the title - the authors claim it is for the 2000 version of Publisher, but many of the screens and keystrokes they portray are of an earlier version. After struggling through several pages of the intro, they thoughtfully threw in a text box on page 10, to explain that the book is based on the '98 version of the program and that "the appearance of your screen might not match ours..." Terrific. If you are a veteran of Publisher, this might not be a problem, but if you bought this thing thinking it would lead you through the 2000 edition of the program, you are left to wander through it, and getting stuck on a page with no way to go back without losing what you already have done. If you are a rookie on learning this program, don't expect this book to be your guide. Take a class instead or keep looking for a better tutorial.
