  Book Information

Still the top-selling software suite for Mac users,
Microsoft Office has been improved and enhanced to take
advantage of the latest Mac OS X features. You'll find lots
of new features in Office 2008 for Word, Excel, PowerPoint
and Entourage, but not a page of printed instructions to
guide you through the changes. Office 2008 for Macintosh:
The Missing Manual gives you the friendly, thorough
introduction you need, whether you're a beginner who can't
do more than point and click, or a power user who's ready to
tackle a few advanced techniques.

To cover Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage, this guide
gives you four superb books in one -- a separate section
each for program! You can manage your day and create
professional-looking documents, spreadsheets, and
presentations in no time. Office 2008 has been redesigned so
that the windows, toolbars, and icons blend in better with
your other Mac applications. But there are still plenty of
oddities. That's why this Missing Manual isn't shy about
pointing out which features are gems in the rough -- and
which are duds. With it, you'll learn how to:

Navigate the new user interface with its bigger and more
graphic toolbars
Use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage separately or
together
Keep track of appointments and manage daily priorities with
the My Day feature
Create newsletters, flyers, brochures, and more with Word's
Publishing Layout View
Build financial documents like budgets and invoices with
Excel's Ledger Sheets
Get quick access to all document templates and graphics with
the Elements Gallery
Organize all of your Office projects using Entourage's
Project Center
Scan or import digital camera images directly into any of
the programs
Customize each program with power-user techniques

With Office 2008 for Macintosh: The Missing Manual, you get
objective and entertaining instruction to help you tap into
all of the features of this powerful suite, so you can get
more done in less time.
