A pretty good book but I would have loved more direction in the review exercises. The last chapter had us working with tables within word, and anyone who has worked with Excel will find this a little confusing as the table in Word is clunky and not-intuitive. Anyway, the directions for the review exercise I did for this chapter had me beating my head on my desk. I think if you know what they are talking about it makes sense - but if you are learning this for the first time it's probably going to be a bit challenging. I really wish they would just do away with tables in Word and just have us export from Access or Excel. Garg.
