Review of Microsoft Office 2000 Complete (Mass Market Paperback)

This well-written, well-organised book has a superb step-by-step way of imparting knowledge. Everything about it is simple and straightforward. Both the authors and the publisher should be commended. They did a wonderful job. Not to mention the give-away price! Well, the only flaw I noticed is its title. Yes, its name! The book is not "complete" in the real sense of the word. PhotoDraw is missing. But that's the only fault.
I will recommend it to any Office 2000 beginner; or to any intermediate user that has no business with the graphics hassles of PhotoDraw.
