An Excel-lent New Version

Berkeley, CA--The latest version of Excel, Microsoft's spreadsheet
software, exceeds its predecessors with significant new features and
improvements. These include 3-D worksheets, the ability to edit data
within a cell, new Help features (ToolTips and TipWizard), new formatting
capabilities, improved charting and database capabilities, and Function
Wizard (for help writing complex formulas using functions). Excel is still
the only standalone spreadsheet for the Macintosh. Because it's a powerful
and often complex application, users need a way to easily look up what
they need to know so they can get to work. Excel 5 for Macintosh: Visual
QuickStart Guide fits the bill perfectly. It's a fast-paced,
quick-to-learn comprehensive introduction to version 5.

Excel 5 for Macintosh helps readers take control of the program's many
features by providing step-by-step instructions and dozens of
illustrations. Plus it offers plenty of tips that show readers how they
can be more productive and avoid potential "traps." Like the other Visual
QuickStart Guides (more than 850,000 in print), this book takes a
task-oriented approach, so readers learn what they need to know when they
need to know it. The book is designed for page-flipping with thumb tabs
and detailed index and table of contents. The first two chapters, The
Excel Workplace and Worksheet Basics, are essential reading for users new
to Excel. Other chapters cover everything from formulas to formatting,
drawing to printing, charts to customization, add-ins to shortcuts. and
much more.

Author Maria Langer has written seven other Macintosh books, including The
Macintosh Bible Guide to Word 6 (for Peachpit), Murphy's Laws of Macs,
FileMaker Pro 2.0 for the Mac in a Nutshell, Macintosh Slick Tricks, and
Mac Power Toolkit. She is also the editor of the popular monthly
newsletter, Macintosh Tips and Tricks.
