Microsoft Office 2003 is the sixth version of Microsoft's best-selling Office suite. As such, most of the audience is comprised of people who have used previous versions of Office and are quite familiar with most of the features. Upgraders do not need a 800-page book that covers every aspect of every Office application. They need a book that's focused only on what's new, so that they can move forward with a minimum of fuss. That's what this book is all about.
