This book accommodates those who want to find out how to do specific things with Microsoft"s popular suite of productivity applications. More importantly, it rewards those readers who want to become expert users of Office 97. Leonhard shows how to use four Office applications--Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. He explains the entire feature set of each application, showing you how to accomplish plenty of common (and obscure) tasks. Step-by-step instructions give you precise information on accomplishing specific tasks, such as putting a border around the pages of a Word document or attaching an electronic business card to your e-mail messages in Outlook. The index makes it easy to quickly locate your topic of interest. This book earns its keep when the author--often in funny asides--calls special attention to little-known but very valuable tools, such as Excel"s auditing feature. Familiarity with these features distinguishes Office experts from those who are merely competent with the suite. If you read this book and adopt the suggestions that fit your job, you"ll become much more valuable to your organization. --David Wall
