Description:
Office 2000 for Busy People steers wide of the traps that snag many books for absolute novices by simplifying its material without dumbing it down or abridging it beyond recognition. This book covers the seven major programs in the Microsoft Office 2000 suite--Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, Publisher, and Internet Explorer--authoritatively and in some depth, but without intimidating the newcomer. In this liberally illustrated book, readers find out how to create, edit, and format several kinds of documents. They also learn how to build databases, perform calculations, generate graphs, manage time, and communicate over the Internet. The book makes life easier for readers by explaining which of the Office applications have procedures in common. If you learn to apply text formats in Word, you can do the same in Excel, for instance. The book also integrates its written procedures with its illustrations very well. If the second step of a procedure involves clicking a button, you'll find the number 2 pointing to the button in the adjacent illustration. There are also plenty of lists that explain the options you'll encounter in various situations, such as when choosing an alignment for a paragraph in Word or deleting rows and columns in Excel. --David Wall
