Office X for Macintosh: The Missing Manual Review,  December 30 2002
Submitted by Jim Hill   [Respond | View]

As usual for O'Reilly/Pogue Press, this is a top-notch book. I've made a point of avoiding Microsoft products so when I finally had to begin using Office I found myself with no prior experience beyond similar products (mostly Appleworks, itself the subject of a pretty darn good Missing Manual). The book's considerable heft is due to an amazing wealth of tips, tricks, and how-tos. If you're new to Office v.X, you'd be well-advised to toss a copy of this book on the shelf.

"Pogue, the New York Times computer columnist, is among the world's best explainers."
-- Kevin Kelly, co-founder of Wired

"Basically, Office X is four manuals in one and, as with other Missing Manuals , is designed to help both the beginner and advanced user...I find 'Office X for Macintosh' indispensable and highly recommend it as the perfect companion to Microsoft's Office:Mac v.X."
