About the Book

Microsoft Excel 2002 is an incredibly versatile and easy-to-use spreadsheet program that can help individuals calculate and analyse numerical data. Users can create simple spreadsheets, invoices, and even complex ledger reports. With this guide, readers learn how to perform simple tasks, and then move on to slightly more advanced functionality. Among other things, readers will be able to create spreadsheets that include formulas and built-in Excel functions, use clip art, pictures, borders, and colors to add interest to spreadsheets, publish Excel data to the World Wide Web, and use the new speech feature for voice dictation and voice commands. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the topic, and the information is presented in a lighthearted, easy-to-read style that makes learning quick and simple.
