The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Microsoft Office 97 Resource Kit (Microsoft Professional Editions)':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Unlike the other Resource Kits, this one is not intended for users of the base products, as such. The Office 97 Resource Kit is meant for administrators and support personnel, and provides tools for installation, configuration, conversion, and other support, particularly in a networked environment. Part one is an introduction and chapter one is a very brief outline of the book. New features of Office are presented in chapter two. Part two looks at deploying Office in a (very) large scale enterprise. Chapter three outlines a complete but very lengthy program for everything from purchasing to training. Various methods of installation are described in chapter four while five quickly lists system requirements. Customization of installation and the product itself is looked at in chapters six and seven respectively. Chapter eight discusses training and support needs. Some detailed information for installation troubleshooting is given in chapter nine. Part three concerns upgrading to Office. Chapter ten reviews changes (including those of interest to people developing their own applications that work with Office programs) to Office overall. Chapters eleven through fifteen look in detail at Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word. The same sequence of chapters is used in part four to look at switching from other applications. Each chapter starts with some general discussion, and then works through specific topics with major competing programs. Not all of this material is well chosen. The book seems to think that WordPerfect users need a tutorial in how to select text. Part five again looks at large institutions, this time with a view to management and workgroup functions. A fair amount of space is given to Web and network sharing functions as well. Part six seems to promise to look at internals of the programs, and would be, again, more helpful to technical support people or possibly developers of add-on software. In fact, the material presented covers advanced features of the programs, but only that. For support personnel in a large organization, much of this material could be quite useful. Some of the pointers and tips could also be helpful to very advanced users of the applications, but probably in a much more limited way. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1999
