More About the Author
Greg Harvey has authored tons of computer books, the most recent being Excel Timesaving Techniques For Dummies and Roxio Easy Media Creator For Dummies, and the most popular being Excel 2003 For Dummies and Excel 2003 All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies. He started out training business users on how to use IBM personal computers and their attendant computer software in the rough and tumble days of DOS, WordStar, and Lotus 1-2-3 in the mid-80s of the last century. After working for a number of independent training firms, he went on to teach semester-long courses in spreadsheet and database management software at Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
His love of teaching has translated into an equal love of writing. For Dummies books are, of course, his all-time favorites to write because they enable him to write to his favorite audience, the beginner. They also enable him to use humor (a key element to success in the training room) and, most delightful of all, to express an opinion or two about the subject matter at hand.
Greg received his doctorate degree in Humanities in Philosophy and Religion with a concentration in Asian Studies and Comparative Religion last May. Everyone is glad that Greg was finally able to get out of school before he retired.

No Worse Than Any of the Other "For Dummies" titles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Excel for Windows 95 (Dummies 101 Series) (Paperback)
Like most of the books in the "For Dummies" series, Dummies 101, Excel is an excruciatingly simple step by step guide to using the program. Unfortunately, while the book does an excellent job of teaching the basic tasks of navigating the program and applying snazzy form-over-substance formatting, it fails to give the serious reader any thoughtful guidance on how to use the program to do any real useful work. If you want to create a spreadsheet to amortize a loan, calculate your car's gas mileage, or do any of the hundreds of other possibly useful tasks that you bought the fancy software to do, this book will not teach you how.On the other hand, if you would like to print spreadsheets in multicolors with lots of fancy headings in various fonts and sizes, then this book is at least as informative as any of the others out there, albiet somewhat more pedantic.
