Book for MS Office 2003?
I have a MS book for Office 97 but don't see any for 2003 on Amazon.

In nk.net,
W. Watson had this to say: My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: I have a MS book for Office 97 but don't see any for 2003 on Amazon. Wayne T.

Microsoft® Office Specialist Study Guide Office 2003 Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/7389.asp That's the one I own - it sits collecting dust but that's my fault and not the fault of the book. It's very very in-depth and certainly worth considering if you're going to get a book. First Look Microsoft® Office 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6529.asp Something a bit lighter on the mind is that one. But very out-of-date and unless you're a business probably not what you're looking for. Now, if you want to get really deep and want to toss about a bit more money getting a few books than this is a good starting point: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/078...lance&n=283155 (I think that link should work for you.) If you're a home user than the Amazon link should be okay in my opinion. I've read some of the Bott books but not that one specifically. From a technical standpoint I'd recommend the Specialist Study Guide which will give you anything you will likely ever need to know and the price on it is currently fantastic. Though the Amazon offering looks awfully inviting but I'm not sure if I'd ever have time to read it. Then again, with Office 12 "right around the corner" is there any reason to get a book? -- Galen - MS MVP - Windows (Shell/User & IE) http://dts-l.org/ "My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence." - Sherlock Holmes |

Office 12? I just updated to 2003 from 97! I use Word a lot. In fact, my need for the other Office products has really diminished tremendously in the last 10 years. I'm retired, but use Word a lot. I did like the book I mentioned. Looks like some good choices in there, especially a few of the last ones. Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.

I learned a lot from "Word 2002 for Dummies". If you are looking for
something on the 'beginner' end of things, you might try "Word 2003 for Dummies" (Paperback) which I see is available on Amazon. ---------------------------------- "W.

It depends on what you want. If you are an absolute beginner and want a lot
of handholding (without condescension), see my review of Word 2003 Personal Trainer at http://www.word.mvps.org/Tutorials/B...nalTrainer.htm. If you have some experience with Word and are looking for a definitive reference to answer all the hard questions, be assured that, AFAIK, none such exists. I usually test Word books by looking for the answers to questions I couldn't find on my own, and I have virtually never found them in books. -- Suzanne S.
