  Book Information

Quickly learn the most useful features of Microsoft Office
2007 with our easy to read four-in-one guide. This
fast-paced book gives you the basics of Word, Excel,
PowerPoint and Access so you can start using the new
versions of these major Office applications right away.
Unlike every previous version, Office 2007 offers a
completely redesigned user interface for each program.
Microsoft has replaced the familiar menus with a new tabbed
toolbar (or "ribbon"), and added other features such as
"live preview" that lets you see exactly what each option
will look like in the document before you choose it. This is
good news for longtime users who never knew about some
amazing Office features because they were hidden among
cluttered and outdated menus.
Adapting to the new format is going to be a shock --
especially if you're a longtime user. That's where Office
2007: The Missing Manual comes in. Rather than present a lot
of arcane detail, this quick & friendly primer teaches you
how to work with the most-used Office features, with four
separate sections covering the four programs. The book
offers a walkthrough of Microsoft's redesigned Office user
interface before taking you through the basics of creating
text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases
with:
Clear explanations
Step-by-step instructions
Lots of illustrations
Plenty of friendly advice

It's a great way to master all 4 programs without having to
stock up on a shelf-load of different books. This book has
everything you need to get you up to speed fast. Office
2007: The Missing Manual is truly the book that should have
been in the box.
