Introduction to Office Productivity Software: Word – Excel – PowerPoint

This book is intended as an introductory text for students with little or no experience in using computers. It introduces the concept of a file, then describes how to utilize and navigate a file storage system. It gives brief descriptions and examples of how to use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. The book is not intended as a reference manual. The idea is to give a beginning student enough tools to make the programs useful. After a student has begun using the programs, there are many resources (easily available) to help expand his/her capabilities. All of the programs in the Microsoft Office suite easily available have “Help” features and Microsoft provides extensive product support and there are also numerous online tutorials.
