  Book Information

It's the solution to almost all of your electronic
organization needs. Need to present a detailed expense
report? Try an Excel spreadsheet. Keeping track of a
complicated budget? Excel to the rescue. Want to keep tabs
on your office football pool? You guessed it.

Thanks to its incredible versatility and power, Excel has
emerged as more than just a mainstream program; it's now one
of the most used applications on the planet. Everyone from
run-of-the-mill PC users to leading financial analysts count
on Excel to make sense of overflowing data. And to keep up
with the overwhelming user demand, three different versions
of Excel have hit the market since the debut of Excel 97:
Excel 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. Naturally, each version
offers a new slate of next-generation upgrades--and, of
course, operating bugs!

At last, Excel users have some relief: Excel Annoyances
emerged from the suggestions of numerous Excel users who've
struggled with these irritating bugs over the years.
Written in the popular Annoyances format, this latest
O'Reilly helper addresses all of the quirks, bugs,
inconsistencies, and hidden features found in each of the
four versions. Chances are if someone, somewhere, found a
certain step confusing, then it's addressed in Excel
Annoyances.

Author Curtis D. Frye breaks down the cavalcade of
information into several tip-of-the-finger categories such
as Entering Data, Formatting, Charting, Printing, and more.
If you're one of the millions of people who use Excel,
you're sure to find a goldmine of helpful nuggets that you
can use to fix the program's most annoying traits. In the
end, Excel Annoyances will help you to truly maximize
Excel's seemingly limitless potential.
