WHY THIS BOOK IS NEEDED

Since the inception of Microsoft Office^™, upgrades to the suite have entailed no major changes to the organisation, presentation and logic underpinning its program windows.

The ribbon interface is a radical change, and has catapulted experienced users into a situation where:

●	they feel as though they are ‘flying in the dark’
●	they have to feel their way around the ribbons to locate familiar commands
●	it now takes extra time to complete routine tasks which, previously, had become second-nature

Exasperation levels have increased, and output rates have decreased. The cost implications for business are significant.

As experienced users, we do not need a detailed, step-by-step, explanatory reference designed for novices. In short, we do not need a “how-to” tome.

What we do need is a “where-to” resource which tells us only what we need to know to find what we’re after – thereby, enabling us to just ‘get on with our work’ without the exasperation of hunting through the ribbons to find familiar commands.

A UNIQUE OFFICE 2010^™ RESOURCE

Written for neither ‘dummies’ nor ‘idiots’, this book addresses a need not catered for by online help resources, nor by other books on the market. It has been tailored with your needs in mind:

●	written by an experienced user, for experienced users, it addresses you on your level
●	it provides only the information necessary to deliver you to ‘familiar turf’, from where you can proceed unaided
●	it is designed for portability and convenience – A5, coil-bound (to lay flat when opened) – small enough to fit into a laptop bag or handbag – always on-hand
●	it does not require the user to have internet access
●	it does not involve having to swap back and forth between multiple windows on the computer screen
●	it acknowledges the inevitability of converting to the ribbon interface and facilitates that conversion, unlike add-ins which enable access to familiar menus but, in so doing, actually hinder the development of familiarity with the ribbons
