This book tells you the simple way to use Excel (perfect for keeping home accounts or doing a "mail-merge"). It also tells you about Outlook, OneNote and PowerPoint (ever wondered what's the point of those programs?).
In Microsoft Office One Step at a Time, you'll discover:
- What can you really do with a spreadsheet? Plenty: find out on page 3
- A trick that I didn't know until Kate (who helped write the book) told me… but I'll definitely be using from now on. Page 4
- Typing can act "a bit odd" in Excel… here's why (and what to do). Page 5
- What to make sure of BEFORE you add a new column to your spreadsheet. Page 8
- Format your dates how YOU want them, not how Excel wants them. Page 11
- The single easiest way to make a spreadsheet look nicer. Page 13
- What to do when the text in a cell is FAR too long but you still want it all to display (when it's too long to just make the cell wider). Page 16
- Why Print Preview could save you 400 sheets of paper… from just one press of the print button Page 21
- What Excel sneakily doesn't show you until AFTER you've done a print preview. p 22
- How to tell it where you want each page to end (otherwise it picks some daft places…). Page 23
- Excel can automatically fit your spreadsheet to the right number of sheets of paper… just click this one box… page 24
- How to save having to redo calculations if the numbers change - a great time-saver. p 29
- Common errors and how to fix them (or what to do what it says "#VALUE!", "#REF!" or "#NUM!"). Page 30
- 5 simple steps to a household budget in Excel (and the easy way to keep track of how you're doing against it). Makes it MUCH easier to keep to your budget! p 32

- The two ways Outlook can help you get organised. (one is a calendar that reminds you of things you have to do) Page 48
- How to mail merge - perfect for printing off the same letter to a group of people (eg a society)… or even just sticky labels for them all. Page 39
- What the main bits of a PowerPoint presentation are, and how to use them. p 50
- Setting up a "timed" slideshow to run automatically. Page 56
- What on earth is OneNote? I didn't understand until Kate made it clear for me! Page 58 AND find out about the "bug" they put in on purpose… and why.
