O'Reilly Released Office 2004 For Macintosh: The Missing Manual

Microsoft Office 2004 is four popular programs for Mac OS X in one cohesive suite: Word for words, Excel for numbers, PowerPoint for presentations, and Entourage for email and personal information management. And Office 2004 for Mac: The Missing Manual (Walker and Tessler, O'Reilly, US $29.95) is four books in one.

According to O'Reilly, Walker and Tessler deliver on their promise to use "very little jargon or nerd terminology" in this funny and friendly reference. They clearly and systematically guide both beginners and veterans through all four Office 2004 programs. The authors include all the advice and practical information users need to take command of the basics and make the most of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage. [Bill Fox]
