Tips to Master MS office?

Question

well am a student very fond of computers and internet but not very fond of the technical aspects of it...

my problem is despite of having a PC and printer at home i have to rush to computer parlours to prepare any project reports,powerpoint presentations or other assignments....

i have to pay money for what i could do for free at home just b'coz of my vulnerability in MS office usage..

general usage of MS Word is fine for me...but when it comes to fine tunning the stuff i prepare i start cramping...

Inserting of tables at right places,proper spacing and formatting are a few areas i find hard dealing with..... same is the case while preparing powerpoint presentations or using MS Excel for graphs etc..

I hope i am clear with my question and i would sincerely appreciate if someone can suggest me a way to get rid of this trouble.....

Answer 1

My suggestion: go to www.amazon.com, look for the link to books, then look for used books.

I have purchased many used books here, got really good prices, and all books received so far are in like-new condition. Minor wrinkle or scratch on cover.

Look for the "Made Easy" series, e.g. Word 2003 Made Easy, then go on to Word xxxx for Dummies. The Dummies books instruct with humor, and the "Easy" series is explained with good graphics.

Then, open some files -- call them "Practice in Word," or whatever, and play around with the various buttons and options.

Answer 2

I use to have the same problem, thankfully they sell those "Dummies or Idiot" books that saved the day. That is the only thing I can suggest, buy a book, with me lots of pictures really helped. I kept them by the monitor so when I needed to do something I just looked it up. Chow
