This book makes the assumption that the reader has no prior knowledge of computing. It uses everyday language and tries to describe procedures and terms in the simplest way possible. The emphasis is on action and success without wasting time in long technical explanations or terms. Each section is divided up into separate sections that contain essential information about each topic. These are followed by a series of actions designed to lead to successful use of computer applications. These easy steps introduce and develop some of the most useful areas of the computer, including using the Internet and e-mail. It also covers the basic word processing elements common to Office 97, Office 2000 and Works 2000. We have included a Jargon Buster at the back of the book to explain any unfamiliar terms.
People who are busy, with little patience, or who simply cannot face anything more technical than a pencil sharpener, will find that this book helps them key into one of the world’s most widely-used pieces of technology.
