1 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware)   October 4, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Having bought the Mavis Beacon typing tutor I thought I was on to a good thing here as the teaching style of that piece of software is excellent, with LOTS of interactive exercises which reinforce the learning material. BTW, the ONLY reference to Mavis Beacon I have seen so far in this product is her picture on the outside of the box. Everything including the help file is labelled 'all in one office training', which is fine but in my view misrepresentation.

On my machine, P4 with win XP & 1GB ram, a reasonable box, selecting ANY of the exams produced 'Please wait, exam loading', still like that after half an hour. Contacted customer support after searching the faq page on the web site for the product, which had one entry, and although they were quick to respond, their complex solution did not solve the problem.

I based my purchase on the Mavis Beacon name and the single 5 star review listed here. After purchase, I checked other reviews made by the same reviewer. Only GSP software (the publishers of this product) and all reviews have 5 stars, my my. I will be interested to see if this review makes it into the lineup and I will be carrying out a bit more research on my software purchases in future.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent software   April 4, 2007

This interactive learning software is better than any other "learn Microsoft Office" title I've tried.

This is the most non-intimidating interactive learning software ever. You go step by step from the absolute beginning to the more advanced techniques. Main menu navigation allows you to skip what you may already know, enabling you to zero in on what you may want to work on at the moment.

You are not only shown what you want to know, but then must do it yourself. NOTE: you DO NOT need to have Microsoft Office installed on your computer. All the interactivity exists in the program.

Constant exercises, end of chapter reviews, and chapter quizzes make this a great way to learn Microsoft Office anytime and anywhere. I strongly recommend this to any serious learner.
