Finally a book that explains the objective and not just what the software is capable of doing! I would highly recommend this book to any person using Office 2003 in a business environment. Gini Courter and Annette Marquis had anticipated my questions and not only provided highly informative answers but extremely useful tips and advice. Additionally, the examples will assist readers from an entry level to expert.

Written for business-minded and experienced Office users, this task-oriented guide goes directly to the bottom line, revealing optimal ways to perform critical, challenging tasks. After fifteen years of teaching people how to be more productive with Office, Courter and Marquis know users’ FAQs and understand the way you use Office — as an integrated suite rather than as a collection of separate applications. In Mastering Microsoft Office 2003 for Business Professionals they skip the basics and focus instead on precious time-saving techniques that help you streamline your day-to-day activities.

Inside this microsoft office training manual, you’ll learn how to:

* Manage schedules, tasks, contacts (Outlook)

* Build and deliver convincing, animated presentations (PowerPoint)

* Create documents collaboratively (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

* Streamline mailings and messaging (Word, Outlook, Access, Excel)

* Produce complex publications such as manuals, proposals, and contracts (Word, Binder, FrontPage)

* Publish documents on the Web (FrontPage, Excel)

* Organize and secure documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)

* Build robust, foolproof workbooks (Excel) * Design and develop data sources (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook)

* Create templates for repetitive tasks (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, FrontPage)

* Construct user input forms (Outlook, FrontPage, Word)

* Dissect data, and then present it in compelling ways (Excel, Access)

* Tweak Office to fit the way you work (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint)

* Use macros to do more with Office (Word, Excel)

I had a number of titles written by Courter and Marquis as I find their writing style so easy to read and interpret. What I can say is you won’t be disappointed with this microsoft office training manual.
