creating and publishing your web site. Office 2000 suite contains
a set of very powerful, popular and easy-to-use applications that
can make your life a lot easier. It contains the world's most
popular word processor (Word 2000), electronic spreadsheet (Excel
2000) and Internet browser (Internet Explorer). It also contains
an excellent presentation software (PowerPoint 2000), a
full-fledged relational database management system (Access 2000),
a very efficient organizer cum e-mail client (Outlook 2000), a
wonderful publishing software (Publisher 2000), a graphics package

(FrontPage 2000) and a set of small business tools. If one knows
how to use these tools, then he/she can save a lot of time, effort
and money and can be more productive and efficient.
Introduction to Computers with MS-Office 2000
is written for all who want to learn about computers and the most
popular productivity improvement tools mentioned above-Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, Publisher, PhotoDraw, Internet
Explorer and so on. This book is written in a step-by-step style
so as to make the learning of the packages as easy as possible.
Since the book is divided into sections you don't need to read the
book from cover to cover. If you are new to computers, read the
first sections on computers, Windows and Office 2000 and then you
can move straight to the package you want to learn first.
The book uses a single example, that of a book
store, to explain how each package in the Office 2000 suite could
be used to accomplish the various tasks that one will have to
perform--whether he/she is working for a big organization, running
a small business or using the computer for personal purposes. We
have tried to make the learning process easy by providing a lot of
screen shots, real life examples, exercises, and so on. We hope
that you will find this book very useful and will help you become
more productive.
