Microsoft Office 2003 Inside Out

Description
Microsoft Office remains the dominant productivity suite, the standard toolkit for everything from letter-writing to slide shows. However, there's a big difference between being able to use the Office programs and being efficient with them. Microsoft Office System 2003 Edition largely succeeds in explaining the critical intricacies of Office 2003--those that make the difference between competence and mastery. No one's going to read a book like this cover-to-cover, and few readers will tackle a chapter end-to-end either. That's why the index in this book is central to its usefulness. It's a carefully thought-out index, with headings that distinguish among topics as they apply to different Office programs (in other words, references to coverage of Excel columns are obviously distinct from those to Word columns and Access columns in the index). There's also a separate and reasonably handy troubleshooting index, in which you can quickly scan for problems like "Protection for worksheet or workbook unavailable" and get a page reference for a possible solution. When you locate the page you want, coverage is clear and concise. The authors assume you're familiar with basic Microsoft Windows conventions, but take care to use stepped procedures wherever possible and provide many labeled screen shots as landmarks for your progress through the procedures. --David Wall Topics covered: This is a carefully designed and exhaustively researched guide to every user-level function of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, FrontPage, and InfoPath. There's not a lot of coverage of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)--Office's automation language--but there's enough of that to get you oriented.
