Special Edition Using Microsoft® Office 2007

THE ONLY OFFICE BOOK YOU NEED

 

We crafted this book to grow with you, providing the reference material you need as you move toward Office proficiency and use of more advanced features. If you buy only one book on Office 2007, Special Edition Using Microsoft® Office 2007 is the only book you need.

 

If you own a copy of Office 2007, you deserve a copy of this book! Although this book is aimed at the Office veteran, Ed and Woody’s engaging style will appeal to beginners, too. Written in clear, plain English, readers will feel as though they are learning from real humans and not Microsoft clones. Sprinkled with a wry sense of humor and an amazing depth of field, this book most certainly isn’t your run-of-the-mill computer book. You should expect plenty of hands-on guidance and deep but accessible reference material.

 

This isn’t your Dad’s Office! For the first time in a decade, Microsoft has rolled out an all-new user interface. Menus? Gone. Toolbars? Gone. For the core programs in the Office family, you now interact with the program using the Ribbon–an oversize strip of icons and commands, organized into multiple tabs, that takes over the top of each program’s interface. If your muscles have memorized Office menus, you’ll have to unlearn a lot of old habits for this version.

 

Ed Bott is an award-winning computer journalist and one of the most widely recognized voices in the computing world, with nearly two decades of experience as a writer and editor at leading magazines, such as PC World, PC Computing, and Smart Business. Ed has written many of Que’s all-time bestsellers, including Special Edition Using Office 2000, Special Edition Using Windows 98, and Special Edition Using Windows Me.

 

Curmudgeon, critic, and perennial “Office Victim,” Woody Leonhard runs the fiercely independent AskWoody.com website with up-to-the-nanosecond news, observations, tips and help for both Office and Windows. In the past 15 years, Woody has written more than three dozen books, drawing an unprecedented six Computer Press Association awards and two American Business Press awards. Woody was one of the first Microsoft Consulting Partners and is a charter member of the Microsoft Solutions Provider organization.

  • Big Changes in Office 2007


    By A1M8PP7MLHNBQB on 2007-01-08
    I don't have Office 2007 yet, but I bought this book because as soon as it's available I'll start getting questions about it. At first glance, just from reading this book not actually trying things out, it appears that there are three big changes in Office 2007.

    First is the Ribbon. Microsoft has specialized in graphical user interfaces (GUI). 'THE RIBBON' is Microsoft's new standard for GUI's and have been applied across all of the office products. I think it's better from what the book says, but boy is it going to cause a lot of questions.

    Second is Security. Internally this is probably the biggest changes. There's a new Office Trust Center. It's not as pretty as the other packages (but it does have a ribbon). It's a new feature within office, it will get prettier and easier to use in future versions.

    The third big set of changes is in sharing documents as you work on them. This is part of Microsoft's approach to the enterprise market rather than personal productivity. Let's just say that this will be a challenge.

    Why this particular book? The authors and their writing style. They make reading about computers almost entertaining. And they are not Microsoft, so they can make comments about how things really work rather than just praising everything.

    One complaint -- About ten more pages on Access would be a big help. A list of reserved words for instance, which are rather hard to find. And some brief discussion on using Access with SQL Server.

    All in all, there are (or will be) a lot of books on Office 2007. I like these guy's style.

  • Another good book from the Special Edition Series


    By A3CRWD4P5L7VK on 2007-03-30
    I have to learn Office 2007 enough to teach it, and there aren't many books out yet for it. The Special Edition series is one that I use for a desktop reference for several programs, and this one goes with them. It's clear, not cute or condescending, has good content, and is easy to refer to with questions. It's a good book to keep on hand as you learn Office 2007.

  • They did it again!


    By A2LS9NZ19XF6AO on 2007-03-22
    Ed & Woody have turned out another extememly valuable reference text for Microsoft's Office series. I bought the upgrade to Office but would not install it until I could read some of the text to see what I should be aware of after installation. I'm glad I did. The change in file systems is definitely something that anyone upgrading should know about.
    I highly recommend the book.

  • VERY HELPFUL IF YOU ARE NEW TO OFFICE 2007


    By AZNLA03OX5JMV on 2008-02-15
    If you are upgrading to Office 2007 from an earlier version of Office this book is a great help. Microsoft has made a number of changes in where basic tools are located and how to access them. This book makes the learning process a lot simpler and a lot quicker. However, I don't recommend you try to read the book cover-to-cover in one sitting. It is the thickness of a New York phone book. The Index at the back of the book is well done and is a good way to problem-solve individual issues.

  • Using Microsoft Office 2007, Special Edition


    By A2EJXWIGGXZ1G6 on 2007-05-08
    Excellent book. Very helpful and explains things clearly. Worth purchasing.

  • microsoft word 2007
    By A3KZETLAV7VU38 on 2007-05-12
    This work will for me, as a student, easy to use. Did a wonderful job.

  • Great book for beginners and pros
    By A3AG60EK902H56 on 2007-11-20
    I've been using office for as long as Microsoft had it. This is a good book that let me quickly familiarize myself with whatever was added in this version.

    Took me about 3 days to thumb-through and take notes. I come back to this book now as a reference every once in a while.

    Overall, I highly recommend this book to everyone, beginner to pro. Though, possibly, this book might be a little tough on the beginner.

  • MS Office 2007 Book
    By A3IB2W44VEFSID on 2007-07-10
    Received book quickly. Great service and a great book. I will buy from this seller again. the book is VERY helpful as there are a lot of changes to Office 2007.

  • Microsoft Office 2007
    By AO01717CKARSF on 2007-11-09
    Microsoft Office 2007 Simplified

    This is a book that is very easy to read. I have learned a lot about Office from reading it. I find that it is most useful as a reference book when I get in trouble.I have always solved the problem when I use it as a reference book.

  • Using Microsoft Office 2007, Special Edition
    By AWX8PHCP7FNTZ on 2007-07-17
    THE BOOK IS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND AND SOMEWHAT BETTER THAN THE SOFTWARE.

  • Another Excellent Using Title
    By A6R1M0DNHV4E9 on 2008-03-20
    Every "Using" book I own (more than a dozen) has been valuable, well written and packed with good information. This is no exception. The authors know Office. I started with Word and quickly absorbed the "flavor" of the new interface. This book will cut my frustration time dramatically.

  • office 2007
    By A15PRSL5HC29DD on 2008-01-07
    I bought this book to help me understand office 2007... it's difficult to use. I am finding I need more books to unlock even more questions I have.

  • Book Using Office H & Student 2007 by QUE
    By A1N9IC55CBDBIK on 2008-01-12
    Book is well done and the instructions are easily understood. Sold at a fair price.

  • specific/detailed
    By AVAL1T27UJ5HD on 2008-02-26
    Very specific and detailed. best for persons who already have used Word 2007, and are familiar with its layout and tools.

  • Getting to know you....
    By A1RA4YW6L2L750 on 2008-07-24
    I'm still getting to know the many changes in Microsoft Office Home/Student for 2007, but one thing I really appreciate is the ability to save documents as earlier versions of Word, like the 2003 or earlier versions. Computers that don't have 2007 versions of the Office components don't seem to be able to open the 2007 version files. Even my HP laptop with Windows Vista on board couldn't do more than read and print the Word 2007 files after the trial version had expired. I think being able to save docs in earlier versions is crucial! Beyond that I'm still learning to navigate around the menues, etc. I'm sure it's a great product, I just think the learning curve is a bit steep!

  • Using Office 2007
    By A29DFDU9EA0I5I on 2008-08-05
    The book seems well written, but not quite as detailed as I need. I see that I will need to buy the Using Word 2007 to get as much detail as I want. Still, this book gives a great overview of the whole suite and probably has a much info as most users will want.

  • Not a good reference book
    By A3A30GQVL7VYSZ on 2008-08-19
    This book has not been a useful reference book. It doesn't go into enough depth on any topic. If you have used Microsoft software, do not buy this book.

  • A good general reference.
    By A1CP110U11Q4BC on 2008-08-21
    If you want to be able to find out a little about most of the components of Office 2007, this is easier to use than the online Help. I wish there was a CD for faster look-up. (Just what is OneNote?)

  • Clear, Concise and Usable
    By A2ZV98KBP8P31Z on 2008-03-03
    I am a long-time subscriber to Woody's Access news, so I expected to find an enthusiastic, simplified approach and am not disappointed. Great resource.

  • Good for me
    By A3QQGPI3CTV9SX on 2008-04-01
    I liked this book and it provided allot of answers to the new functions of what in my opinion are good products for what each are suppose to do and MS usually does a good job at patches as needed. The book was informative and laid out well and is a good reference when needed.
