Textbook

One of our most popular texts in the Lawrenceville Press series, A Guide to Microsoft Office XP Professional, was written and classroom tested by experienced computer educators and employs the same "hands-on" approach that has made our other texts so popular. The text includes introductory, intermediate, and advanced chapters for Word, Excel, and Access, making the text appropriate for students at a variety of levels. A chapter instructs students on how to produce PowerPoint presentations and an additional two chapters explain Outlook. Use of the Internet and e-mail etiquette are also discussed.

A Guide to Microsoft Office XP Professional emphasizes the development of good computer and problem-solving skills in a clear, easy-to-understand format. Each new concept is first discussed and then followed by a practice session that requires the student to apply newly learned skills using Office. Each chapter contains practices, examples, screen captures, and a large number of exercises and review questions of varying difficulty.

Networking, telecommunications, computer ethics, computer-related careers, and the history of computer applications are also covered.

Students may download data files and additional materials about operating systems from Lpdatafiles.com at no charge.
