I am very pleased with this book. The instructions are clear and visual, and that rates highly with me because I do better when I can see how to do something.
Great book!

Windows Vista(TM) Plain & Simple (Bpg-Plain & Simple)
It is hard to use this to start using Vista because the subjects are not in the order you will encounter them in trying to configure it. For example how to use multimedia and running gadgets are covered before "setting up" , "managing files" and customizing your configuration.

This is a great book for anyone who does not want any type of theory but just the information to get going on a project. Lots of great illustrations and just what this busy librarian needs who does not have time to go back to school for a computer science degree. The book contains easy to read page layouts with instructions on how to preform various task in a simple step by step manner. Who knew a marine biologist and former caterer could cook up such a book.
Excellent for beginners April 10, 2007

This book is well laid out and easy to understand. The step by step, visual format makes it easy for you to quickly complete topics without guesswork - it shows you all of the steps you need to take! Excellent as a manual or reference book, generally you can go directly to a topic and learn all that you need to know about that topic without having to read previous sections.
The book starts off by covering the features common to all Office 2007 programs - extremely useful to quickly familiarise you to the general workings of any Office 2007 program. Each of the following chapters then focuses on an individual Office 2007 program(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access).
