The Way Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh Works

The Ultimate How-To Guide For Beginners -- In Full Color!

Microsoft Press and Dorling Kindersley (DK) have created a new addition to
their bestselling WYSIWYG series. This latest collaboration, THE WAY
MICROSOFT EXCEL FOR THE MACINTOSH WORKS, offers a lively approach to
learning Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh that shows beginners the ins
and outs of the software.

THE WAY MICROSOFT EXCEL FOR THE MACINTOSH WORKS bears the instantly
recognizable look of DK, with inviting full-color spreads and vivid
illustrations. The colorful, graphical format is the perfect introduction
to Microsoft's bestselling spreadsheet program for the Macintosh. And the
visual, jargon-free approach is ideally suited to the Macintosh's friendly
approach to computing.

"We're very excited about renewing our commitment to the Macintosh market
with the WYSIWYG series. The visual approach is ideal for both Macintosh
users and users of the new version of Microsoft Excel," said Jim Brown,
Associate Publisher for Microsoft Press.

Striking photography, art, and design tell the story in this exciting new
guide. Photos and easy-to-understand illustrations lead readers step by
step through the basics and beyond. The inviting layout draws readers into
the book and encourages them to fully explore Microsoft Excel for the
Macintosh. Bite-size pieces of text deliver information fast. And, as with
the other WYSIWYG titles in the series, the friendly WYSIWYG Wizard
appears frequently with practical tips and tricks. Color-coded margin
boxes answer common questions and provide cautionary advice. The book
makes learning to use a software program fun!

The fundamental features--from formatting a spreadsheet to creating a
database--are covered. Readers also get advice on such topics as
customizing Microsoft Excel, using the menus and toolbars, working with
multiple worksheets and workbooks using the extensive set of problem
solving tools, and using the numerous Wizards to simplify complex tasks.

The WYSIWYG Series

THE WAY MICROSOFT EXCEL FOR THE MACINTOSH WORKS is the fifth book in the

computer screen is exactly "what you get" on the printed page. With the
