About the Author

About the Authors Bjoern-Erik Hartsfvang enjoys writing .For Dummies books because he hopes that he can spare others the frustration that he's experienced while trying to learn new software. In his daily life, he uses the computer as a tool to pursue interests as diverse as role-playing games and pre-Christian Scandinavian history. The only topic he's found that he hasn't been able to teach others is the correct spelling of his name. He has worked with Stuart on several other .For Dummies titles, including Access For Windows 95 For Dummies Quick Reference, Dummies 101: Works For Windows 95, Microsoft Works For Windows 95 For Dummies Quick Reference, and Microsoft Works 4.5 For Windows For Dummies Quick Reference. Stuart J. Stuple has worked with computers ever since they were gasoline powered. (Okay, it hasn't been that long, but it feels like it.) He started out as a computer book editor and project manager many years ago, but his spelling is so bad that they made him an author, instead. In addition, Stuart has worked as a full-time computer science instructor in community colleges in both California and Washington. He has a master of arts in counseling psychology, which helps him deal with the stresses of his newest job. He is the author of several .For Dummies titles. See Part VIII for information about how to access the IDG Books Worldwide Web site to find out which ones.
