About the Author

The author, Wallace Wang , currently exists as a carbon-based life form, consuming precious natural resources for his own survival at the expense of the rest of the planet. Despite his dislike of unnecessary complexity, the author actually enjoys what computers can do, even if they tend to fail spectacularly in everyday use at the worst possible time (details, details...). Besides writing computer books, the author also enjoys studying movies and performing stand-up comedy just to do something creative that involves human beings as opposed to machines. In addition, the author also refers to himself in the third person in imitation of professional athletes and other personages who like pretending that theyre more important than they really are.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to all those people forced to use Microsoft Office because everyone else uses it so they have to use it too. To all those people searching for mental relief from the collective insanity that results from standards imposed upon the unwilling, this book and its instructions are dedicated to making your life easier and more bearable so you can actually use your computer for a change.

Author's Acknowledgments

Id like to thank all the friendly people who helped put this book together, especially Pat OBrien. Additional thanks go to my radio co-hosts (Wes Sample, Dane Henderson, Sherri Diaz, and Joe Shattuck) at My107.9FM in beautifully isolated Alpine, California where we host a weekly radio show called Notes From the Underground. Thanks also go to Johannes Gutenberg for inventing the printing press, which is currently being defeated by armies of people dismissing the invention of mass printing by refusing to read any books at all.

Introduction

W elcome to the most popular office productivity software in the world. If youre already familiar with Microsoft Office 2007 or Microsoft Office 2010, youll find that the new Microsoft Office 2013 is familiar enough to use right away with minimal training, but comes jam-packed with additional features to make Office even more useful than ever before. If youve been using a much older version of Office (such as Office 2003 or earlier), youll find Office 2013 to be a radical leap forward in both features and its new user interface.
