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news for longtime users who never knew about some amazing Office features because they were hidden among cluttered and outdated menus.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

 All-In-One Office Reference August 9, 2007
Daniel McKinnon (Tewksbury, MA USA)
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
'Office 2007: The Missing Manual' by Chris Grover is an absolute gem of a book. With 850+ pages of material covering Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and so much more, this is the definitive reference item for all heavy Office users that want to ramp up as quickly and efficiently as possible. Broken up over 34 chapters, this book logically separates the different applications and uses of the Office program suite. Focusing heavily on not just the use of the apps but the difference with the "ribbon" changes of the 2007 versions, this is another grand slam by the 'Missing Manual' line of books.
The only person that I really couldn't recommend this for is if you are a user of a particular application in the Office suite. For you I would recommend on picking up one of the particular books that delve more into detail than this book does.
Awesome books, incredible job by one of the best book lines out there today.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Vander Veer's Office 2007: The Missing Manual covers the latest, extensive upgrade to the Microsoft Office, Suite: an extensive revamp which makes this 0FFICE 2007: THE MISSING MANUAL a 'must' even for owners of previous Office editions.

 GREAT BOOK TO LEARN MICROSOFT WORD, EXCEL & POWERPOINT April 8, 2008
Florence F. Smith (Miami, Florida)
This book is easy to read and follow to learn the different programs in the Microsoft suite. I highly recommend it! It explains items clearly and precisely and you can follow along on the computer to learn the different applications in a rapid pace. Also a major bookstore near my home did not carry this book. I saved $15 by using Amazon over their internet site and this was not counting their mailing fee. All in all, I would use Amazon again for another purchase.
 Too basic September 3, 2008
PT Reviewer (Washington state USA)
I wanted to understand and explore new features in this version of Office (especially Word, esp. Track Changes) but this was far too basic: too much coverage of simple stuff, not enough on what is new in the 2007 version of Office. This book is not as useful to me as the "Missing Manual" on Vista that I bought at the same time.
