CAIRO BOOKS's Description
Special Edition Using Microsoft® Office 2007 THE ONLY OFFICE BOOK YOU NEED
We crafted this book to grow with you, providing the reference material you
need as you move toward Office proficiency and use of more advanced features.
If you buy only one book on Office 2007, Special Edition Using Microsoft®
Office 2007 is the only book you need. If you own a copy of Office 2007, you
deserve a copy of this book! Although this book is aimed at the Office veteran,
Ed and Woody’s engaging style will appeal to beginners, too. Written in clear,
plain English, readers will feel as though they are learning from real humans
and not Microsoft clones. Sprinkled with a wry sense of humor and an amazing
depth of field, this book most certainly isn’t your run-of-the-mill computer
book. You should expect plenty of hands-on guidance and deep but accessible
reference material. This isn’t your Dad’s Office! For the first time in a
decade, Microsoft has rolled out an all-new user interface. Menus? Gone.
Toolbars? Gone. For the core programs in the Office family, you now interact
with the program using the Ribbon–an oversize strip of icons and commands,
organized into multiple tabs, that takes over the top of each program’s
interface. If your muscles have memorized Office menus, you’ll have to unlearn
a lot of old habits for this version. Ed Bott is an award-winning computer
journalist and one of the most widely recognized voices in the computing world,
with nearly two decades of experience as a writer and editor at leading
magazines, such as PC World, PC Computing, and Smart Business. Ed has written
many of Que’s all-time bestsellers, including Special Edition Using Office
2000, Special Edition Using Windows 98, and Special Edition Using Windows Me.
Curmudgeon, critic, and perennial “Office Victim,” Woody Leonhard runs the
fiercely independent AskWoody.com website with up-to-the-nanosecond news,
observations, tips and help for both Office and Windows. In the past 15 years,
Woody has written more than three dozen books, drawing an unprecedented six
Computer Press Association awards and two American Business Press awards. Woody
was one of the first Microsoft Consulting Partners and is a charter member of
the Microsoft Solutions Provider organization. Introduction I Common Tasks
