Microsoft Excel 2010

The easiest way to control your computer

You don't need to study extensive manuals to do the things you usually need to do for work or play. Today's computers are visual and interactive, which is why our books are visual and interactive. We don't doubt you can read, but a picture is worth a thousand words and easier to remember.

Unlike other books, this modern guide does not describe Microsoft Excel 2010, but shows you all the common activities with illustrations linked to the text, step-by-step procedures, and, if you wish, with interactive video tutorials for download.

In the book you will find all important or interesting topics:

• Create, format, save and print tables
• Automatic filling, sorting and filtering of records
• Select, search, move and copy data in cells
• Referencing other cells, calculations in the status bar
• Automatic summaries, using one or more functions in a formula
• Creation and editing of full-size charts and mini charts
• Insert images, clipart and other objects into the workbook
• Keyboard shortcuts, Excel customisation and web collaboration

There is an appendix to the book, designed to be downloaded separately, containing interactive video courses: In addition, you can try out the most important activities discussed in the book in interactive video courses. The illustrated character gives you precise instructions, waits for your steps and, in case of failure, demonstrates them herself. Thanks to the video course, you don't even need to have Excel 2010 installed on your computer, and you can't mess anything up. Everything is done in your web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc. ), so you don't need any special software.
