Excel 97 One Step at a Time [With Real Examples & Interactive Software...]

Outstanding book for the beginner--and even for someone who knows a little about Excel. Very good exercises and lessons/explanations. The book walks you right through the exercises and does a super job to explain how to use them to learn Excel. I have not had much experience with or training on Excel, so was worried about just how difficult it would be to learn. My new job requires I use Excel all the time. Now I feel like I can do most anything that is required of me in Excel. This book is a must for someone, like me, who is just learning. The CD that accompnies the book is also excellent to use and definitely helps you learn in whatever format you find easiest--or combine all formats to learn and review what you have learned!!! A must to buy and make an integral part of your bookshelf collection.

The book is excellent. Read the very last page first: It tells you how to copy the exercise onto your hard drive and re-set the READ ONLY button. Once you have done that, you won't need to install the 'program' from the CD-ROM. Read the book, do all the exercises and you will be better trained than going to one of those $199 'ACCESS I / II / III' courses. My boss sent me to an Access II course. I was not sure if I may fail so I bought this book; did all the exercise and when I was in the class room, I can do things even the teacher cannot, let alone being able to understand everything that the course offered. The book is that good. If you know nothing about Access now, but need to know, buy the book.

This book was so easy to follow. It gave easy to follow directions. It was very thorough. It gave great examples. I have all the One Step Books. Do you have one for understanding email and internet? PLEASE HELP! I am working from a book called "creating web sites" that has numerous errors. It leaves out instructions. I don't know how a publisher can put this book on the market.
