Mastering Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition

Mastering Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition won't do data entry for you, but it will make your life a whole lot easier. If you've decided that the professional edition is best for you, this will most likely be the only reference you'll need. Written for all levels of users, it actually might not teach the old-school Windows hackers a whole lot, but even they will find it handy to have around the desk when their memory fails.

Features from all components of the Office suite--Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel, and Access--are outlined step by step with plenty of illustrations to check against, and there's follow-up material covering macros, Visual Basic, and working online. For those who want to go further than the basics, abundant sidebars with tips, tricks, and extras to customize and streamline your work will give you the information you are looking for.

Those interested in upgrading will be pleased to know that Mastering Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition fully covers the new interoperability features of the package, so you can create symphonies of files using documents, spreadsheets, graphics, and more with just a few keystrokes and some ingenuity. Even if you're already a master, you'll find something useful inside. --Rob Lightner
