Microsoft Excel for Windows Step by Step Version 4, 2nd ed.
The Official Microsoft Courseware

MICROSOFT EXCEL FOR WINDOWS BY STEP, Second Edition, is the fast, easy
route to error-free spreadsheets with Microsoft Excel for Windows and for
exploring the stunning new ease-of-use and power features of Microsoft
Excel version 4. It's the ideal timesaving, cost-effective, professional
training program for self-paced learning or classroom use.

This award-winning book-and-software package from Microsoft Press takes a
modular approach to teaching Microsoft Excel. Readers already familiar
with previous versions of the software can turn directly to the
information they need in lessons that explore new version 4 features.
Newcomers to Microsoft Excel or the Microsoft Windows operating system are
encouraged to start right at the beginning. Each of the 17 lessons, which
take 25 to 45 minutes to complete, is illustrated with examples and fully
integrated with the practice files on disk.

For example, in Lesson 2, students learn how to select cells, enter data,
and edit and clear cell entries for a marketing budget worksheet for a
fictitious company called West Coast Sales. They can compare their results
and track their progress with the practice worksheet on the accompanying
disk. Topics covered in Microsoft Excel for Windows Step by Step include:

. Creating, editing, and formatting worksheets
. Linking worksheets for automatic updating
. Converting Lotus 1-2-3$ worksheets and graphs
. Setting up pages for printing
. Creating "what-if" scenarios based on different inputs
. Using worksheet databases
. Creating and formatting charts
. Working with timesaving macros

Each lesson includes clear objectives, step-by-step instructions,
real-world business examples, summaries, and review exercises called "One
Step Further." A special section in the book points readers to lessons
that highlight the new presentation features and analysis capabilities of
Microsoft Excel version 4. A comprehensive index helps students and
instructors quickly find information on any Microsoft Excel topic in the
book.

Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 or later and Microsoft Excel
version 4 for Windows are required. The book includes one 720-KB 3.5-inch
disk and ordering information for a 1.2-MB 5.25-inch disk. The Microsoft
