Get Down to Business--Maximize Your Efficiency with Office 2003 Written for business-minded and experienced Office users, this task-oriented guide goes directly to the bottom line, revealing optimal ways to perform critical, challenging tasks. After fifteen years of teaching people how to be more productive with Office, Courter and Marquis know users' FAQs and understand the way you use Office--as an integrated suite rather than as a collection of separate applications. In Mastering Microsoft Office 2003 for Business Professionals they skip the basics and focus instead on precious time-saving techniques that help you streamline your day-to-day activities. Inside, you'll learn how to: Manage schedules, tasks, contacts (Outlook) Build and deliver convincing, animated presentations (PowerPoint) Create documents collaboratively (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) Streamline mailings and messaging (Word, Outlook, Access, Excel) Produce complex publications such as manuals, proposals, and contracts (Word, Binder, FrontPage) Publish documents on the Web (FrontPage, Excel) Organize and secure documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) Build robust, foolproof workbooks (Excel) Design and develop data sources (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook) Create templates for repetitive tasks (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, FrontPage) Construct user input forms (Outlook, FrontPage, Word) Dissect data, and then present it in compelling ways (Excel, Access) Tweak Office to fit the way you work (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) Use macros to do more with Office (Word, Excel)
I've only just begun reading this book, but have learned something on each and every page. I bought it at the suggestion of a colleague who attends seminars given by the authors. She raves about their knowledge and ability to easily give instructions on using software applications as they "write the manuals", and I can confirm that they "know their stuff."
A Great Book for Office 2003

This book is a great resource for both people who have used other Office versions and for those who are beginners. The explanations are great and the pictures really help you understand what is going on. My copy of this book has been borrowed numerous times by others in my office. They love the book just as much as I do.
Excellent business tool

Finally a book that explains the objective and not just what the software is capable of doing!I would highly recommend this book to any person using Office 2003 in a business environment. Gini Courter and Annette Marquis had anticipated my questions and not only provided highly informative answers but extremely useful tips and advice. Additionally, the examples will assist readers from an entry level to expert. My bookshelf is crammed with reference guides for application software. Recently I have purchased a number of titles written by Courter and Marquis as I find their writing style so easy to read and interpret. Once again I have not been disappointed with this title.
