 Excellent Overview April 10, 2008
I purchased this book in addition to some of the other more advanced Office books (Office 07 Inside Out & Office 07 Bible) for the full color screen shots to see how the new Office System's Ribbon looked. Don't let the title fool you, although this book is indeed geared toward the newbie, there is some excellent coverage of some advanced topics I have not found in some of the other advance Office books. The organization may not be layed out very logically, but you can jump to whatever section you please with ease. The sections of Outlook (written by Jim Joyce, an Outlook MVP and author of various Outlook Inside Out editions and Beth Sheresh) are a nice intro to the Outlook Plain & Simple book. (Also worth it.) The Access section by Curt Frye (another advanced author) gives a nice intro to one of the most advance programs Office has. I was also pleased to see some coverage (although limited) for Publisher 2007. A lot of advanced Office System books don't cover Publisher at all.
Some of my favorite highlights are:
Explanation of the new Office programs and Office Tools
Explanation of the new Office File Formats (including saving in the Office 97-2003 formats and templates for people without the new 07 System)
How to use common tasks
Exchanging Info Among Office Programs (Excellent chapter with various options for using data from one program in another and coverage of how to use the Microsoft Office Document Imaging program to scan documents and convert to text. This is missing from many other Office books!)
Explanation of customizing and securing Office with great screen shots
My one big disappointment is the lack of coverge for OneNote 2007. OneNote can can interact with Outlook via tasks and other items and this would have been wonderful info to readers.
If you don't have Office 2007 and are considering purchasing it or looking for a way to use Office more effectively, this book is a wonderful full color guide and well worth the attractive price. The Plain & Simple series may start with simple tasks, but does include more advanced topics without too much technical jargon. Enjoy!

I am very pleased with this book. The instructions are clear and visual, and that rates highly with me because I do better when I can see how to do something.
Great book!

Windows Vista(TM) Plain & Simple (Bpg-Plain & Simple)
It is hard to use this to start using Vista because the subjects are not in the order you will encounter them in trying to configure it. For example how to use multimedia and running gadgets are covered before "setting up" , "managing files" and customizing your configuration.
