Summary: OK for Excel - hopeless for Word
Comment: This book looked great in the bookstore, when I was looking for an Excel guide with some help on Word. But when I got it back to the office I found that the index lacked adequate references to Word functions. You would expect that the index would have at least a reference to every term in the drop-down lists from the main Word toolbar. No, it doesn't. So, if you are looking for help with Word, look elsewhere. Can I suggest, too, that you take any computer book on appro for a day or two - save you falling into the trap I fell into.

On the Excel side, it is OK but - like Microsoft products themselves - it assumes you want lots of options to make things pretty for a "presentation" rather than making your work more productive for analysis. That is, I have lots of big spreadsheets that I work on intensively. I'll spend half a day on one spreadsheet working out what it can tell me. Then I'll do a summary table or maybe a graph or two. But this book assumes you work the other way about: you have a handful of data which requires virtually no analysis and you are prepared to spend a day making it look pretty.

Look elsewhere.
