Office X for Macintosh The Missing Manual

The arrival of Microsoft Office v. X means that thousands of Mac fans can finally make a permanent move to Apple's smooth, stable Mac OS X. The suite includes four programs: Word for words, Excel for numbers, PowerPoint for slide shows, and Entourage for email and appointments. But whimsical though it may be, the lava-lamp packaging of Office X doesn't have room for a single page of printed instructions. Office X for Macintosh: The Missing Manual is the book that should have been in the box. This funny, friendly guide provides a crystal-clear map of the dense Office feature jungle. The book includes: * A gentle liftoff. Each of the four Office programs creaks with controls, sliders, and gizmos. The first chapter for each program helps you master the basics, taking care to point out shortcuts along the way. * Power techniques. Long-time Office users will find both power-user techniques and detailed coverage of what's new (and what's removed) in Office X. * Unvarnished truth. According to Microsoft's own research, the average Office worker taps into less than 15 percent of the software's features. Because this isn't an authorized book, the authors can offer frank advice as to which of these features are gems in the rough-and which are junkware. With over 400 illustrations, a hand-crafted index, and the trademark humor and clarity of every Missing Manual, Office X for Macintosh: The Missing Manual is four superb, indispensable books in one.Barber, Nan is the author of 'Office X for Macintosh The Missing Manual', published 2002 under ISBN 9780596003326 and ISBN 0596003323.
