Spreadsheets: Using Microsoft Excel 97 or Microsoft Office 97

From The Critics

Numbers and arrays of numbers are no longer just the province of accountants. Tomorrow's work force will include a high percentage of "knowledge workers" routinely using spreadsheets. This simple introduction to spreadsheets and some of their uses can be a great help to older children (and their parents). Using a spreadsheet program is not as intuitive as using a word processing program. This book eases the reader into the concepts by using an address list as the first example. The forty topic areas are well chosen to help readers achieve useful results. An attractively priced introduction to a powerful and important tool. 2001, EDC Publishing, $10.95. Ages 10 to 12.
