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.
If you need to make sense of Office and don't have time to waste,
Office 2019 All-in-One For Dummies is the reference you'll want to
keep close by!
