Quickly learn the most useful features of Microsoft Office 2007 with our easy to read four-in-one guide. This fast-paced book gives you the basics of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access so you can start using the new versions of these major Office applications right away. Unlike every previous version, Office 2007 offers a completely redesigned user interface for each program. Microsoft has replaced the familiar menus with a new tabbed toolbar (or "ribbon"), and added other features such as "live preview" that lets you see exactly what each option will look like in the document before you choose it. This is good news for longtime users who never knew about some amazing Office features because they were hidden among cluttered and outdated menus. Adapting to the new format is going to be a shock -- especially if you're a longtime user. That's where Office 2007: The Missing Manual comes in. Rather than present a lot of arcane detail, this quick & friendly primer teaches you how to work with the most-used Office features, with four separate sections covering the four programs. The book offers a walkthrough of Microsoft's redesigned Office user interface before taking you through the basics of creating text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases with:

This is a perfectly fine book, but really contains almost nothing that you can't find in Microsoft's online tutorials. If you want to read this in the bathroom, go for it.

This book is easy to read and follow to learn the different programs in the Microsoft suite. I highly recommend it! It explains items clearly and precisely and you can follow along on the computer to learn the different applications in a rapid pace. Also a major bookstore near my home did not carry this book. I saved $15 by using Amazon over their internet site and this was not counting their mailing fee. All in all, I would use Amazon again for another purchase.

A quick thumb through the book told me all. A great deal of Office 2007 essential information, or meat, is sadly missing or "lost." In using the product, I find that Microsoft has really improved their help screens and included tutorials that are quite useful. I would skip this book completely.

'Office 2007: The Missing Manual' by Chris Grover is an absolute gem of a book. With 850+ pages of material covering Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and so much more, this is the definitive reference item for all heavy Office users that want to ramp up as quickly and efficiently as possible. Broken up over 34 chapters, this book logically separates the different applications and uses of the Office program suite. Focusing heavily on not just the use of the apps but the difference with the "ribbon" changes of the 2007 versions, this is another grand slam by the 'Missing Manual' line of books.
The only person that I really couldn't recommend this for is if you are a user of a particular application in the Office suite. For you I would recommend on picking up one of the particular books that delve more into detail than this book does. Awesome books, incredible job by one of the best book lines out there today. ***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-03-12 21:58:05 EST)

Chris Grover, Matthew MacDonald and E.A. Vander Veer's Office 2007: The Missing Manual covers the latest, extensive upgrade to the Microsoft Office, Suite: an extensive revamp which makes this 0FFICE 2007: THE MISSING MANUAL a 'must' even for owners of previous Office editions. The basics of Word, Exel, PowerPoint and Access are covered, from the beginnings of navigation using new tools to the basics of working with Word document layouts, Excel spreadsheets, presentations using PowerPoint, and Access' enhanced database capabilities.
