This was my textbook for Introduction to Microcomputers at Ivy Tech Community College. The book provides how to examples and activities to learn the Office programs such as PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Access. This book is easy to follow and uses many pictures to help show you exactly what your screen should look like while completing any of the tasks in the book. While I knew that I had many of the skills from previous experience in the office program it wasn't until I took this course that I learned how proficient I could be in the programs and how fun they could be as well. If you have the extra money to get this book and want to learn how to run these programs to work for you you should invest in this book. It will be money well-spent. ( )
