From the Author

Microsoft Office XP is the most powerful office suite on the planet, but if you don't know the basics of how to use Office, its powerful features will do you little good. In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Office XP, I lead you step-by-step through the most common Office tasks, from the most simple to the most complex. Along the way, I give you plenty of hands-on experience to make you more comfortable with Office XP's menus and button bars.

Although I'm careful throughout this book to keep the explanations simple and straightforward, don't think this book is dummied down. It covers some of the most powerful features in Office XP, including mail merge, speech recognition, database creation, e-mail management, and Web page publication. I've packed this book full of tips and tricks that guarantee to make you more productive in Office XP and help you dazzle your friends and colleagues. And to sweeten the pot, I added a dash of humor that promises to keep you entertained while you learn.

With this book and a copy of Microsoft Office XP, you'll be primed to master the office of the future.
