This is one of the best books in the Dummies series that I have purchased. Although I have some familiarity with Office 2008 for Mac, I wanted an easy to understand book that would not overwhelm me with technical details, but instead give me practical explanations and tips for using Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. This book does exactly that.
I checked out various books in the bookstores before I ordered this from Amazon. I think that for the average user like myself this is a great way to learn the basics, with the opportunity to delve more deeply if you wish (this book is about 800 pages including the index). The book is well written, well organized, and contains lots of tips and shortcuts. I highly recommend it.

This book is definitely worth purchasing, whether you are beginning to use Microsoft Office or have been using it for years. The book presents a great deal of information in an easy to understand format. There is a good explanation about the use of new galleries that help quickly find features, formats, wizards, templates, and recently lost files. The mystery of templates has been revealed at long last. I have wanted more documentation on Entourage for years and this book has details. Hidden secrets such as how to make Gantt charts are revealed. PowerPoint and Word features are well documented so that even a novice can use them. All big party givers need to read "Making Magic With Mail Merge." The section covering Excel is particularly good. I am being forced to become an accountant and the ledger sheet explanation is wonderful.
