Reviews

[Blue]

This is an entry-level primer. It supplies step-by-step instructions for exersices which could be applied for personal projects. However, most of the stuff for Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, and Excel are what most people probably know or learn just from playing with the programs for a few hours. Each program was a separate section, then supdivised into projects from easy to advanced. In advanced there were a couple neat tricks in Excel that one would not find just messing around, and keyboard shortcuts did make an appearance. For Access, the program in the suite that seems ignored by school projects and most jobs that require MS Office competancy, the low-level approach was nice but there was absolutely nothing about the logic behind how things link up - nothing on the algorithm to hold in mind while making a database.
