why do you think this is?
If a person has used a typewriter or any word processor program, starting out in Word doesn't seem much different. Then as the person goes along and learns how to do a few more and a few more intricate things (set margins, use tables and text boxes, insert photos, etc.), it is like climbing a ladder, one rung at a time.
Access, however, is a heavy-duty database program, and even if someone has basic experience with a spreadsheet (such as Excel), learning to use this intricate database is extremely difficult.
I also think there are variations in the quality of instruction manuals. For example, I think the manuals that are written and published by Microsoft are too technical and don't make good sense to everyday people, learning to use those programs. I've always found that Office for Dummies or the individual programs ...for Dummies are the best instruction manuals because they are NOT written by the people who wrote the programs!
These are my experiences with that suite. Others may have had different experiences.
