Description

One practical book that's ten books in one: Learn everything you need to know about Microsoft Office with one comprehensive guide on your bookshelf To know your way around all the applications within Microsoft Office would require you to be part mathematician, part storyteller, and part graphic designer--with some scheduling wizard and database architect sprinkled in. If these talents don't come naturally to you in equal measure, don't panic-- Office 2019 All-in-One For Dummies can help. This hefty but easily accessible tome opens with Book 1, an overview of the Office suite of applications and tips for handling text and becoming more efficient. From there, you'll find a book on each of the suite's major applications: Word: Learn the basics of word processing with Word, plus lay out text and pages; use Word's styles and proofing tools; construct tables, reports, and scholarly papers; and become familiar with manipulating documents. Excel: In addition to refining your worksheets so they're easier to understand, you can also master formulas, functions, and data analysis. PowerPoint: Find out how to make your presentations come alive with text, graphics, backgrounds, audio, and video. This book also contains a chapter with guidance and tips for delivering presentations--in person or virtually. Outlook: From helping you to manage your contacts, inbox, calendar, and tasks, Outlook can organize your days and keep you working productively. Access: Not everyone needs to build and maintain databases, but if that's part of your job, this book has all the hands-on information you need to get going: Build a database table, enter data, sort and query data, and filter data into report format. Publisher: The Publisher book is a quick-and-dirty introduction into desktop publishing, helping you to design a publication using built-in color schemes, templates, fonts, and finishing touches like borders and backgrounds. The last three books cover material that applies to all the applications. Book 8 shows you how to create charts, handle graphics and photos, and draw lines and shapes. Book 9 provides a quick primer on customizing the Ribbon, the Quick Access toolbar, and the Status bar, and guidance on distributing your work (via printing, emailing, converting to PDF, and more). Finally, Book 10 wraps up with how to use OneDrive, especially for file sharing and online collaboration.

Review: Great for Senior User - I worked as a secretary and then as purchasing agent for my company for many years. I was thrilled when Microsoft Office came out. I learned to use it forwards, backwards, and upside down. I loved the program and ended up being the tutor for all our engineers and sales personnel when they finally got around to having a PC on their desk. I even trained a few family members of some of our personnel. Even after I retired, I still had the basic edition of Microsoft Office on my home computer. Since I was no longer working, I saw no need to upgrade my Office program as I only used it for a few personal things around the house. Then, I decided to buy myself a laptop and it was a great decision. I have a vintage roll-top desk in my living room, and it is truly freeing to have one piece of equipment that handles all I need without all the clutter of my now very old desktop computer. I hadn't upgraded any of my Microsoft Office programs, because I really didn't feel as if there had been enough changes to be worth the cost since I was no longer working professionally. My new laptop, however, didn't agree. It offered all the Microsoft Office programs at a reasonable price and they could be purchased separately. I definitely didn't need all the extras ... Word, Excel, and Powerpoint were perfect for me. (or so I thought). The joke was on me. I may not have updated over the past few years, but Microsoft Office was moving right along with the changing times. So, here I sit with 3 powerful programs I once turned ever which way but loose when I needed to create professional looking documents, and I could barely figure out how to open them. At 70, I don't use them like I once did, but I do want to be able to move around and make changes to some of the more complicated forms I created years ago. So, Microsoft Office 2019 {for dummies) to the rescue. I still haven't figured out how to use half of the new features, but at least I can look them up and get a good idea of how to get where I want to go. This is a very good instructional book and has been extremely helpful in getting me up and running. I admit that I only tackle one problem at a time, but at least I can answer my own questions. Don't be put off by the "for dummies" part of the book. The only real dummies are those who refuse to ask for help, even from a book. Review: Office 2019 - Has all the information I needed to be able to use some of the programs in Office especially publisher
