Introduction Using Microsoft Office 2013 introduces you to the new verson of Microsoft Office and is designed to help beginners and enthusiast users who want to get up and running quickly using their computers. This book has been written in a step-by-step fashion, using photography and screen shots to illustrate the steps as clearly and as concisely as possible, starting with the fundamentals of what Office is. We then take a look at using the most common Office Applications, with guided tutorials on creating documents in Word with different fonts, graphics, photographs, and colors. We learn how to manipulate data in Excel to create tables, perform calculations, and create charts. We use PowerPoint to get our message across by creating multimedia presentations using graphics, photograhs, and animations.

Finally we learn how to set up Outlook to check our e-mail and keep appointments and contacts. CHAPTER 1 Microsoft Office 2013 Microsoft Office 2013 is a suite of applications that enable you to produce documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other desktop publishing. Here is a summary of the applications available in Microsoft Office 2013: Microsoft Office 2013 is available in three different forms which are aimed at different users. Home & Student is aimed at ordinary home users, university and college students and contains the basic applications that most home users would use: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. Home & Business is more or less the same as Home & Student except it adds the Outlook e-mail application. Office Professional is aimed at business and power users and contains all the applications you would use when working for or running a business.

It includes all the applications of Home & Business but adds desktop publishing with Microsoft Publisher and a database management system for keeping records called Microsoft Access.
