Running Microsoft Excel 4, Third Edition 
The Complete Guide to Microsoft Excel version 4 for Windows By The Cobb
Group

RUNNING MICROSOFT EXCEL from Microsoft Press--the bestselling guide to the
spreadsheet for Windows--has been thoroughly updated and revised to cover
the latest version of Microsoft Excel for Windows.

Renowned computer-book authors Douglas Cobb and Judy Mynhier, of The Cobb
Group, have teamed with spreadsheet experts Craig Stinson, Mark Dodge, and
Chris Kinata to bring Microsoft Excel users the ultimate reference to this
powerful business computing tool. Individual users will find a highly
accessible, field-tested manual. For companies that have standardized on
Microsoft Excel for Windows, it's the ideal office reference. Step-by-step
tutorials, superb examples, dozens of screen illustrations, and hundreds
of shortcuts and tips sprinkled throughout the book help readers get the
most out of Microsoft Excel version 4 for Windows.

This information-packed book is a one-stop resource for all levels of
Microsoft Excel users. Novices learn how to create, edit, and format a
worksheet; incorporate formulas; link spreadsheets; use the built-in
functions; and print presentation-quality reports. Intermediate to
advanced users discover the best ways to create, customize, and enhance
charts--even how to incorporate graphic objects within worksheets for
emphasis. Developing, sorting, and working with databases become second
nature, and more experienced users can choose from the more than 200
built-in macros to create user-defined functions, dialog boxes, menus, and
custom help screens. Plus, this new edition details the complete range of
exciting, new, productivity-enhancing features of Microsoft Excel version
4 for Windows, including:

. The AutoFormat feature, which lets users highlight a table of figures and
then click on one of a long list of preconfigured formats to instantly add
color, different font sizes and styles, and borders.

. ChartWizard, the advanced charting utility that makes creating charts and
experimenting with new chart types easier than ever.

. The Crosstab ReportWizard, which lets users easily cross-tabulate a
Microsoft Excel database, turning raw data into meaningful reports.

. A Scenario Manager that simplifies preparation of best-case and
worst-case predictions.

. Lotus 1-2-3 commands and macros that can be used automatically with
Microsoft Excel's improved support features.

. Macros that can be automatically loaded at the start of every Microsoft
Excel session.

. The new Analysis ToolPak, for performing distribution analysis and
statistical tests.

Appendix A describes Microsoft Excel 4's nine built-in toolbars, showing
each toolbar and including a chart of the more than 140 predefined tools
and their locations. Readers will find this invaluable in creating their
own new tools and toolbars. A list of the 30 most valuable keyboard
shortcuts is offered in Appendix B. And a comprehensive index helps users
quickly find information on any topic in the book.
