OFFICE 2008 FOR MACINTOSH [Posted on 2008-04-26]
It is exactly as stated by the author - a good manual where you have the ability (unlike office help) to read in bed, mark the pages of interest, underline and make marginal notes.

I especially found useful the description of how to totally customize menus in every way conceivable (removing items, whole menus, rearranging etc etc.

Good work

Microsoft Office 2008 - a good manual [Posted on 2008-04-28]

This is a very comprehensive manual and a most valuable resource for anyone changing over from Office 2003 or 2007 (for PC) to Office 2008 (for Mac), as a manual is needed to assist with the changeover. For me it is particularly useful regarding Word 2008, Excel 2008, Entourage and PowerPoint; I have no need for Messenger. However, as Excel 2008 is a dumbed down version of Excel 2003 (for PC), Excel 2008 is not very user friendly when it comes to manipulating scientific and financial data, especially with regard to graphs or charts. An appendix to the manual, showing how to work around the various problems created by Microsoft in the Office 2008 suite, would be invaluable. With a great deal of difficulty and with much experimentation I've managed to do some of this myself.

So So Manual [Posted on 2008-05-03]
Based on other Missing Manuals, I had hoped for more. It is not objective and does not tell any shortcomings of the Mac versions of the Office 2008 offerings. This would be nice because sometime you cannot decide if the issue is the program or you, the user. At this point, it is the only manual available. I am waiting for something from Wiley Bible series.

The "Missing" Manual from Amazon [Posted on 2008-06-21]
Never received this book I ordered because for the 2nd time, Amazon decided to ship via USPS and ignore the fact that in some parts of the USA the postal service does not deliver to street addresses and requires either a PO Box or counter pick-up. Hence my "Missing Manual" went back without ever being notified of it's arrival. Rather than correct the problem and send via UPS, FedEx, or DHL (the later I would not recommend in this case, since they sometimes work with the post office at the local delivery), - or resend to the actual PO Box, Amazon just refunded the order. Now Amazon asks for my review? Well this is the only review I can give, since I have YET to see the book.
