Quite boring..., November 24, 2008

It's a little too much "windows like". It lacks some entertaining slides / new & interesting explanations. I was expecting more from this official release.
Maybe am I too mac-addicted?

I would need this book often for all the changes to Excel 2007. The CD was very valuable and am glad it is included. Would like a better process to remove the CD packet from the book so I don't damage the spine. I have ordered all the other Office 2007 books and will use them often.
Poor quality control. The errors and other problems make this a frustrating book to learn from, January 2, 2008

Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))
I have to agree with another reviewer. This book is full of errors including example files that range from already completed or missing pieces. The book is hard to follow because some of the commands are not what is in the actual Excel product. The book lacks symbols or pointers for the keystroke instructions. The book has you making permanent changes and additions to Excel and not removing them. Need I go on.
Yes, I am learning some things the hard and slow way. Maybe this book was printed before the product was released but that is still no excuse for the lack of review before it was printed.
I had purchased the Step-by-Step Powerpoint 2007 book and it was excellent -- great directions, in the left margins small icons for the keys to press, and every example on the CD was correct. And believe it or not the instructions matched the Microsoft product.
I should have read the reviews before I purchased this book. This is my opinion.

This book looks good on the surface; However, The descriptions do not match the screens that I have on my version of Excel 2007. It is very difficult to follow and I would not recommend it to anyone new to this software.
