Exploring Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Comprehensive

For introductory Office Application courses that cover Excel 2007. The goal of the Exploring Series has been to move students beyond the point and click, helping them understand the why and how behind each skill. Students go to college now with a different set of skills than they did 5 years ago. The new edition of Exploring moves students beyond the basics of the software at a faster pace, without sacrificing fundamental skills to ensure that they will be engaged throughout the book.
