Microsoft Office 2000 User Specialist Study Guide [With *]

I found this MOUS study guide to be quite helpful. To help you judge for yourself, a bit about me: I am a "power user" of Microsoft Office .. I've used it for many years, and I actually create and teach courses for MS Office products. I bought this book to help me get certified for a few main reasons:> It was one of very few that covered all 5 exams required for Office 2000 Master certification<br>> it contained a certification map which describes the various topics covered on each exam, for each level (Expert vs. Core) and its topics are organized in that matter<br>> it is designed to be a REVIEW tool, with quick, step by step instructions AND brief explanations so that the reader will gain a basic understanding of the topic not just a memorization of steps (it is not a "course" book and will not replace a class if that is what you need).<p>I rate this as a great study guide, as long as you have some prior knowledge of the products. DON'T RELY ON THIS (or any other study guide) IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH MS OFFICE!!<p>P.S. I passed all five exams, in one day. Thanks to this study guide (the only review guide I used) and experience/practice.

I used this guide to prepare for all five exams required for the Office 2000 Master Level Certification and I passed all the exams on my first try. I used several books to learn the applications and prepare for the exams, but I liked this one the best because of the concise instructions and task based approach. The section on Access could have used a little more material, but the coverage is still good, and the coverage of the other applications is excellent. I would highly recommend this book to anyone preparing for the MOUS exams.

If you are planning on being certified in Office 2000, then this book is for you. I used it to prepare and passed Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Access. I am currently using it to prepare for the other tests. This book covers every topic covered on all the exams thoroughly. Each application chapter recaps the topics to be covered on the exams. A seventh chapter covers the MS Office 2000 Integration test which is necessary to pass if you will become a full fledged Office 2000 certified associate.Even if you are not planning on becoming certified in all the MS Office 2000 applications, it is great for just improving yourself in each Office 2000 application of your choice.

This book has everything I need to prepare for all the MOUS exams. It makes it really easy to study for all those features that cross over all of the applications. I think this book is a bargin. Although I may want to consult other references for more in depth coverage of some topics, I can use this book to identify what else I need. Definitely worth the price.

This book is the most comprehensive book I found on the Office 2000 MOUS exams. Covers the most important topics and is easy to read. The authors really seem to know their stuff. I hope to take the Word exams soon and think that this book will help me pass.
