Spreadsheets aren't just for financial planners anymore. If you want to master the secrets of one of the most powerful spreadsheet applications on the market, take a peek inside Microsoft Excel 2000 Step by Step. You'll find 19 self-paced lessons on everything from navigating workbooks to automating your work; novices will quickly get up to speed, while more advanced users can jump right in to the new features offered by the 2000 version.
The numbered instructions are clear and linked to sharp illustrations, making the translation from book to machine a snap. While it's certainly not the most comprehensive book on Excel 2000 (there's little programming information, and you don't get every last detail on most features), it's not meant as a reference and it serves its educational purposes handily.
The enclosed CD-ROM provides all the sample files you'll need to work through the hands-on lessons. You'll also find multimedia walk-through files that demonstrate some of the more complex procedures. If Excel 2000 is or will be a part of your life, do yourself a favor and get Microsoft Excel 2000 Step by Step --Rob Lightner
