Publisher's Synopsis
The "By Example" series is a collection of self-study guides for learning desktop software. It is based on an approach developed by training professionals and each title covers every feature of the software, from the most basic (entering and editing data) to the most advanced (creating macros, etc). With this collection, the reader learns by working through examples, step by step. Specific instructions are provided along with more general explanations, providing for a practical and comprehensive training course. The examples are varied and resemble the tasks that are likely to be performed on the computer (writing letters, drafting long reports, calculating profit margins, managing a client file, making drawings, creating promotional material, etc).
