Synopsis

“John Sweet is on the ‘Right Page’ with his Excel book. It is much harder to simplify than to complicate information. Time is a valued commodity; people want to learn quickly. This book gets right to the point...gets results. Congratulations, John.” Carole Golay Wantz, Entrepreneur, Artist and Book Reviewer “I have been a computer power user for over a decade and have seen help manuals on many programs. Excel Tips and Time Savers is the most helpful yet.” Stuart Urmston, President, Shuco, Inc. “The “Magic” of shortcuts, for the less than courageous computer user, is a gift. This book illustrates instructions and has an index that works, making it user friendly…a great resource for getting a job done.” Jo Lucas, Columbus Office Supply, Inc., Columbus, Indiana “A handy, helpful guide that will increase your skills and productivity. John Sweet has been ‘in the trenches’ and knows what he is talking about!” Paul Flatley, President/Owner, Flatley Employment Services “We are an investment company that uses Excel constantly. Software tips for everyday users, who are not professional software engineers, are of great value to our staff and our company.” Thomas F. Wratten, President, Principal Commercial Acceptance, LLC “Got a computer problem? John Sweet has the answer. No more ‘Dummies’ books for me.” John P. Rosar, Vice President Marketing (retired), Dunham Lehr Inc. Existing technical books are too lengthy and dull to be suitable as references for beginning and intermediate Excel users. I cut through the clutter and provide precise, useful information users want and need.

Preface - Note to the Reader

My sole criterion for the tips and time savers in this book was: "How useful are they?"

I've taught public and corporate computer software classes for more than twelve years and have drawn from student feedback for this book. I know which tips and time savers make a lasting impression on people and which do not. The ones that do are in this book.

I always recommend taking the instructor-lead classes, but most people seem to reach a plateau after taking them. Frustration sets in. You ask yourself. Why am I so slow? Why do I have to ask someone for help? I know most of you won't go out and buy one of the very good, 50-pound books about Microsoft® Excel. Are they good? You bet. But I know that most corporate users of Excel don't buy them and won't read them.

This book will take you to the next level. I want you to be quicker and more comfortable with Excel. When you reach that next level, you will also feel better about yourself! My book is designed to increase your productivity and self-esteem. I hope it does both. If it does, then I've done my job.

This is not a reference book, but there is a detailed index, so you can research a situation.

You don't have to "read" this book from cover to cover, but I would recommend flipping through it page by page. The biggest problem with using today's software is, "You don't know what you don't know!" So - why don't you flip through the book - right now?
