In this book, you'll explore the following topics and more: Window basics (opening, closing, and painting them shut)Word processing (like food processing, only messier)Spreadsheets (for soft, comfortable naps on your spreadbed)Databases (for storing all your baseless data)Graphics (for charting uncharted waters and general doodling)Calendarification, Calendarizing?

Nor does it describe, as a manual does, every button and command. Instead, it focuses on the everyday things you have to do, gives you some background, points you toward shortcuts, and steers you around some of the stuff you probably don't need.
