My Review:
This is the perfect book for anyone that owns a computer. Almost everyone has written a word document. I also think that this is a great companion book for people that work with data. I have made lists before in excel, however I had no idea how to edit it or fix my typos and mistakes. This book breezes through it in easy to understand steps. I also have had to do power point presentations and did very basic slides. I thought that it was amazing when I changed fonts. I never even knew that you could do some of the stuff in this book. I also have outlook and I use it numerous time throughout the day. I am embarrassed at how much I didn't know. I will definitely be reading this book again and it will be stored right on my desk for quick reference. I also learned what all the icons are at the top of the screens, and how to use them. This book would be a great asset for college and high school students!
I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
