Book Reviews of Office 2007: The Missing Manual

Book Review: Missing Too Much
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought "Office 2007, The Missing Manual" in July 2007. I used it a little but found the 2007 MS Office System Plain & Simple to be a better book for our clients. The "Missing Manual" stayed on my bookshelf. Today, thinking I could get a better understanding of my problems with Mailings using a database from Outlook, I discovered that this book has absolutely no information on Mail Merge at all. In fact, "Mailings", one of the 7 tabs on the ribbon is not even indexed. You can find what limited information there is on "Mailings" under Printing envelopes and Printing labels. Ironically, on page 182 (about printing envelopes), the book states, "Most of the tools on the Mailings tab are for mail merge and mass mailings." If most of the tools under the tab are about mail merge, wouldn't it make sense to include some information about those items?

Save your money. There are better books with more information. If you need this kind of overview of the different features in MS Office 2007 -- the "Plain and Simple" book is better. If you need more detailed information, this is not the book for you.

Summary of Office 2007: The Missing Manual

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news for longtime users who never knew about some amazing Office features because they were hidden among cluttered and outdated menus.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:

  • Clear explanations
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • Lots of illustrations
  • Plenty of friendly advice
It's a great way to master all 4 programs without having to stock up on a shelf-load of different books. This book has everything you need to get you up to speed fast. Office 2007: The Missing Manual is truly the book that should have been in the box.
