THE "INSIDE OUT" NAME IS NO EXAGGERATION!

The name of this book is no exaggeration. It has that "Inside Out" coverage. Both beginners and expert users of the software will find it useful. (Although that I will suggest a more concise introductory book like the "Office XP Step By Step" for most beginners).This textbook has a good pattern, and includes many trouble-shooting tips. It has depth. You can just start from any chapter of your choice without having to know what the previous chapter was all about.Also, the attached CD-ROM is a big asset. It contains every topic that you will find in the main text; and since the text is heavier than most laptops, mobile users are bound to appreciate the extra flexibility that this CD-ROM provides.

Microsoft Office XP Inside Out

This book is a must for anyone purchasing Office XP. The small books you receive with the software are excerpts out of this book! You can be up and running with all the programs included in Office XP Professional edition. The companion CD which comes with the book allows you to place the entire book on your hard drive. The CD is worth more than the cost of the book alone. It has tons of information on using the individual programs in concert with each other. It contains many macros', tools and additional features. There are six other "Inside Out" books like this book, except they deal with the individual programs. The book contains over 1580 pages, and by placing them in your computer, you will be able to have access for the exact item that you are dealing with at that time. We certainly expect to obtain all the other books in this series.

Top of its Class

I bought this book only a few days ago without seeing any others on the market. It is well layed out and easy to read. I use it mostly as a reference book because I am very familiar with Office 2000 already. However, if you are new to the Office Suite and want to learn from scratch, this book can do it. It highlights all the new things in Office XP and the CD included has the entire book in "ebook" version making search and query a cinch. After seeing a few other books out on the subject, I couldn't have made a better choice...its perfect!

Great book

This book is great. Nice looks, nice layout, and most importantly, great resource! I'm a professional myself, and use Office often. It's great to learn the new stuff in XP, but even if you never used any version of MS Office, you'll learn a lot. It covers the basics, but certainly doesn't stop there. It gives you the advanced features too! Great book, to go with a great MS program!
