CHAPEL HILL, NC--PC developers are excitedly touting the Windows
revolution, but what do all these changes--the mouse, icons, graphical
user interface--mean to the novice PC user? And where does it leave office
workers who have spent years perfecting their DOS skills? Enter the
Windows, Word & Excel Office Companion, a handy three-in-one reference
that guides PC users through the new Windows environment.

With 648 pages of tips, tutorials and illustrations, the Windows, Word &
Excel Office Companion reveals the most effective paths to the freedom
that Windows offers. Author Patrick Burns introduces the basic commands
and features that quickly and painlessly help users become productive with
their word processing and spreadsheet programs. He further demonstrates
how to exchange spreadsheet data and word processing text within the
Windows environment. For DOS veterans, Burns provides a transition from
keyboard pressing to mouse clicking and acknowledges, on a task-by-task
basis, when one method is more efficient than another.
