The Performing Series takes students to a higher level of learning through applied and project-based activities that go beyond the mechanics of the software. Most textbooks begin by teaching students software skills. The Performing Series presents various business documents first, then shows students the Office XP skills they need to create them. This approach shows students the relevance of what they are learning as they apply technology to task.
Step-by-Step Courseware helps students master Microsoft Office applications. Clearly stated learning objectives, a wealth of task-oriented procedures, and numerous real-world business scenarios guide students in understanding and applying Microsoft Office technology in school, at home and on the job. Step-by-Step Courseware also features interactive multi-media simulations drawn from the Microsoft e-Learning Library (MELL), a task-based approach developed and refined at Microsoft that offers lessons based on tasks that students will encounter in the workplace, and preparation for Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Exam.

Previously entitled "Computer Applications for the New Millenium," this new edition has been revised and added to the Performing series. Renowned author Iris Blanc introduces word processing, Internet, desktop publishing, spreadsheet, database, and presentation concepts through sequential practice material. The book is non-software specific so its exercises can be used with any software or operating system.
The I-Series Applications textbooks strongly emphasize that students learn and master applications skills by being actively engaged- by doing. These texts have been written with clear, error-free, and unambiguous steps to accomplish tasks that lead to a finished document, worksheet or database table. The authors made the decision that teaching "how" to accomplish some task is not enough for complete understanding and mastery. Prior to introducing steps, the authors discuss why the steps students are about to experience are important and what role the steps play in the overall plan for creating a document, workbook or database.

Microsoft Office ranks among the most pedestrian of software suites--it's in a high percentage of the world's cubicles, for sure. But there's more to Microsoft's productivity suite than what the user sees, and Office XP adds, in the form of activation-based licensing, a whole new level of intrigue to what's always been a deployment and maintenance challenge. Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit shows how to manage Office XP effectively and efficiently, emphasizing the suite's capacity for centralized management. Like all members of the Microsoft Resource Kit series, this one includes a CD-ROM containing utility software and searchable documentation.Administrators will appreciate the coverage of best practices in this book. For example, the authors advise you to use a totally clean computer as a platform for creating an image of the Office installation you want to deploy network-wide, and warn you against starting applications on that machine so as to avoid creating any user-preferences settings. Information on Registry settings also is outstanding--readers will find documentation of keys and values here that doesn't appear in any other printed volume. The utility software's pretty cool, too: Supplementary file converters, an Outlook security configurer, and Answer Wizard Builder (a tool with which you can create help documents specific to your organization) are among the goodies. --David WallTopics covered: Microsoft Office XP, explained for the benefit of people who will be installing, upgrading, customizing, and managing it across an organizational network. Installation, user management, localization, and messaging are among the kit's areas of emphasis.
