Microsoft® Office Project 2003 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))

I bought this book because I was starting a new job & needed 2 be more familiar with MS Project. This book has been little help 2 me. It's not 4 someone who wants 2 grab the book & look up something quick. If you have free time & would like 2 learn Project as if you were in a class then this book is 4 you. I've had a difficult time find answers 2 simple questions. If you are at all familiar with using Microsoft Software & understand the concept of scheduling I would look 4 another book.

This book is great. Very helpful.

I am disappointed that although I "qualified" 4 free super saver shipping with my order, it was not applied. Feels deceptive on Amazon's part. And don't tell me that I didn't select it, this is not the first time this has happened.

I really enjoyed this book (I've read about 80% of it so far). I already knew the basics of Microsoft Project, & was able 2 skip the first couple chapters of it. But I found that 4 the topics where I needed a refresher or 2 learn completely new material, it was perfect 4 me.

I'm not someone who needs 2 spend an hour 2 learn a simple task. The Step-By-Step series tell you you're gonna learn, how it applies in a realistic example, & walks you through the steps. They don't beat around the bush & they don't give you too much or too less.

The screenshots were helpful as well.

But what I liked most about the book -- which was an unexpected bonus -- is the little tidbits of Project Management wisdom thrown in 2 each chapter plus an entire chapter at the end. I'm not a PMP, but reading these sections was like reading a PMP refresher book.

Good step by step workbook, as advertised. Easy 2 follow along & the instruction in the book does match what is on your screen. No fault of the book but the software has too many optional ways 2 arrive at the same functionality. Should be rationalized.

I recommend the book.

The book was required text 4 a course I am taking & the cd that came with this book did install on my computer, I got a replacement cd & it did not install. So 2 me buying the book was a waste of time & money.
