Summary: Random organization, separates the teaching from the doing
Comment: I teach computer applications to 8th graders, and this book is a disappointment to me and my students. It is geared more toward the business worker. The order in which it teaches skills is completely random. For example, it teaches advanced operations such as how to create envelopes and labels before it teaches the most basic functions such as how to format text. It also focuses too much on the Internet capabilities of MS Office 2000 (useless "bloatware" if you ask me).
Another problem is the presentation of the lessons. It lists the steps to complete a task, then has an exercise to be completed. It would be much more helpful if the students were able to DO the steps while the book explains them, THEN have exercises to do on their own. Instead, the book separates the teaching from the doing. This is a very ineffective way to learn.
Finally, the confusing language it sometimes uses doesn't help either. My students constantly ask for clarification. Stay clear of this one. There must be better books out there.

Summary: Thankfully there's DDC around!
Comment: Mary Wright, Tech Editor: "For the past 7 years, I have been developing and administering computer skills courses to adults who are both educationally and economically disavantaged. It has been extremely challenging to locate computer training textbooks that can be geared to the functionally illiterate. DDC Publishing is the only publishing company that truly understands and meets the computer educational needs of this market."

Summary: A life-saver.
Comment: This book was a real life-saver for me, and I know it's good enough to be used in some computer prep courses in high schools around here. This is the third DDC book I've used, and all three have been great. They're not flashy, but their step-by-step style actually makes it easier and faster to learn for the average person. Yes, there are some typos and glitches here and there, but they're hardly the prohibitive stumbling blocks the other reviews seem to suggest. I'd not be afraid to buy it. And some of DDC's other stuff--like the other two titles I got on Word and Access--is MOUS Certified BY MICROSOFT and will (I hope!) get me ready for the MOUS Certification exam.
