Microsoft® Office Project 2007 Step by Step (Step by Step (Microsoft))
£9.44
Very Useful Instruction - As the title suggests, the book is a step by step guide to Office Project 2007. It walks you through all of the different aspects of Project that a new or intermediate user could be expected to know or benefit from. It also provides a number of tips where a more advanced or enquiring user may want to find further information. The layout and structure of the book is very good, which could reasonably be expected, with Chapters at a Glance, Summaries of topics covered, Key points and very clear formatting to help the reader/user.As a previous user of an older version of Project, I bought the book as both a refresher to Project and an introduction to the new 07 version. It has certainly delivered on both these counts. However, I would imagine that if I need to develop a more detailed level of knowledge about the software I would probably end up buying a supplemental book as well.I will be using Project professionally and will need to share my project plans with other stakeholders, in light of this I found the following chapters particularly useful:*Organising and Formatting Project Details*Printing Project Information*Sharing Project Information with Other Programs
Top drawer - Exceptionally well-written book which almost falls over itself to be helpful, with the Chapter At A Glance page at the start of each chapter and the Quick Reference pages at the beginning.I ve got three other books on Project 2007 and this is easily the most readable and enjoyable. It keeps you interested with the well-worked examples on disc for you to follow along with and imparts a very good depth and breadth of information.I was uncomfortable with Project before reading this book and tried a lot of tinkering with the software in an attempt to ease my uncertainties. This book takes a lot of the donkey-work out of that process by giving solid exercises to guide you each step of the way.It gets you up and running in no time and leaves you keen to explore even deeper. The last 50 pages introduce Server but the main thrust is with the desktop application, perfect for my working requirements.One of the few books which takes the frustration out of the learning process - no hesitation in giving it a maximum 5 out of 5.
