 Excellent Study Guide August 3, 2001
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I used this guide to prepare for all five exams required for the Office 2000 Master Level Certification and I passed all the exams on my first try. I used several books to learn the applications and prepare for the exams, but I liked this one the best because of the concise instructions and task based approach. The section on Access could have used a little more material, but the coverage is still good, and the coverage of the other applications is excellent. I would highly recommend this book to anyone preparing for the MOUS exams.
 Room for improvement December 29, 2000

The price of this book must've been determined by its weight because it's hefty in both respects...I tend to agree with some of what is mentioned in Burple's review--there are indeed better guides out there, but most of them are software-specific and don't do all of the Office package in one go. I'm currently using this book in conjunction with others to study for my MOUS exam, and where this book lacks, the other titles supplement. If you don't have a lot of experience with Access, for example, then this book isn't a good choice. Start small and buy a guide tailored to the Office application you specifically need strength in. The book is clear in its instructions and does include exercises to help you practice and test your skills; however, if you're a visaul learner, you'll be sorely dissapointed. The screen shots ARE NOT plentiful. In addition, they're sized so small, they're almost useless. You won't be able to read text in the shots of the dialog boxes, and that's a definite minus. So many of the skills you must master for the test involve knowing how to use these boxes... The CD that's included is a waste, which is the major reason I gave this only 3 stars. The CD is glorified advertising with a little bit of actual practice material as filler. The book even shamelessly states: "And when you need some diversion and want to explore some exciting new software..." The MOUS exam itself is about $100, and this book is no bargain--if I wanted to buy software, then I'd have done so. If the CD included only practice material, then I would bet that the cost of the book would be greatly decreased. I hope that subsequent study manuals by these authors spend more time on design and function in their writing and less time on selling ads (one of the endpapers is an ad for Earthlink internet service).
Excellent. A Must-Have for Anyone wanting to be certified. December 15, 2000

If you are planning on being certified in Office 2000, then this book is for you. I used it to prepare and passed Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Access. I am currently using it to prepare for the other tests. This book covers every topic covered on all the exams thoroughly. Each application chapter recaps the topics to be covered on the exams. A seventh chapter covers the MS Office 2000 Integration test which is necessary to pass if you will become a full fledged Office 2000 certified associate.Even if you are not planning on becoming certified in all the MS Office 2000 applications, it is great for just improving yourself in each Office 2000 application of your choice.
Everything in one book January 27, 2000

This book has everything I need to prepare for all the MOUS exams. It makes it really easy to study for all those features that cross over all of the applications. I think this book is a bargin. Although I may want to consult other references for more in depth coverage of some topics, I can use this book to identify what else I need. Definitely worth the price.
 Great resource! January 25, 2000

This book is the most comprehensive book I found on the Office 2000 MOUS exams. Covers the most important topics and is easy to read. The authors really seem to know their stuff. I hope to take the Word exams soon and think that this book will help me pass.
