Mac OS X, Apple's super-advanced, Unix-based operating system, offers every desirable system-software feature known to humans. But without a compatible software library, the Mac of the future was doomed. Microsoft Office X for Macintosh is exactly the software suite most Mac fans were waiting for. Its four programs--Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage--have been completely overhauled to take advantage of the stunning looks and rock-like stability of Mac OS X. But this magnificent package comes without a single page of printed instructions. Fortunately, Pogue Press/O'Reilly is once again there to rescue the befuddled and overwhelmed--with Office X for The Missing Manual . It tackles each of the primary Office applications with depth, humor, and clarity, and provides relief for the hapless Mac user who'd rather read professionally written printed instructions than hunt through a maze of dryly written help screens. Office X for The Missing Manual is coauthored by a dream team of Macintosh Tonya Engst, coeditor of the popular TidBITS Macintosh newsletter; David Reynolds, former executive editor of MacAddict magazine (now working at Apple); and Nan Barber, Macworld contributor and coauthor of Office 2001 for The Missing Manual , on which this book is based. Once again, the authors are joined by series founder David Pogue, who has closely edited the book to ensure excellence of depth, accuracy, and prose.

To the surprise of many Mac fans, the bestselling Macintosh software is Microsoft Office for the Macintosh, often the first purchase for new users. Office 2001 notably comes without printed instructions, packaged simply in a clear plastic case with a CD-ROM. Thankfully, Pogue Press/O'Reilly offers a solution with "Office 2001 for Macintosh: The Missing Manual," which addresses the needs of both beginners and experienced users. The book covers each primary Office application with depth, humor, and clarity, providing a welcome alternative to navigating impersonal help screens. Part One focuses on Word, detailing features from "What's New" to "Basic Word Processing," "Document Design," and advanced techniques, including web page creation and mail merges. Part Two delves into Entourage, highlighting the new Palm-syncable calendar, email functionalities, and the Palm Hotsync process. Part Three explores Excel, introducing the new "List Manager" for easy list creation and manipulation without needing to master spreadsheet tools. Coauthored by David Reynolds and Nan Barber, both seasoned contributors to the Missing Manual series, the book benefits from the editorial guidance of David Pogue, ensuring accuracy and engaging prose throughout.
