Self-paced Training from Microsoft Press
Microsoft Excel 5 for the Macintosh Step by Step

Simplify your work and increase your productivity with MICROSOFT EXCEL 5
FOR THE MACINTOSH STEP BY STEP, the easiest way to master the most recent
version of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet application for the Macintosh.

Completely Updated for Version 5 This new book-and-disk self-paced training
package from Microsoft Press is ideal for busy people who prefer to learn
on their own. Whether the reader is new to Microsoft Excel or is upgrading
from a previous version, this proven training system enables the reader to
find the best starting point. New users can start at the beginning,
learning key concepts and keystrokes before creating spreadsheets. Those
upgrading from previous versions can turn directly to sections that
explore enhanced version 5 features.

Speed Is of the Essence MICROSOFT EXCEL 5 FOR THE MACINTOSH STEP BY STEP is
divided into 15 easy-to-use lessons. Each lesson takes as little as 20
minutes to complete, is generously illustrated with real-world examples,
and is fully integrated with the practice files on the disk. The lessons
are progressive, first presenting basic concepts, and then moving toward
more advanced tasks. Readers can compare their results and track their
progress for each lesson.

Readers will learn to use Microsoft Excel to:

* Create custom reports, charts, and graphs
* Automate routine tasks
* Organize spreadsheets into workbooks and manage data
* Streamline work with macros
* Use timesaving tools, such as Wizards and example spreadsheets

A glossary makes looking up terms easy, and the comprehensive index helps
students and instructors quickly find information on any topic in the
book. To use the practice files on the 3.5-inch disk, users will need
Microsoft Excel 5 for the Macintosh and the operating system required to
run it.
