The good news is that Microsoft Excel is out in a brand-new version with more features than ever before. The bad news is that this brand-new version contains plenty of new functions and commands to remember. So, to help you work productively with Excel 97 without being hindered by differences in its new functions, IDG Books Worldwide, Inc., presents Excel 97 For Windows For Dummies Quick Reference. In this book, you can find all the tips, shortcuts, commands, and quick solutions you need to get the most out of this latest update of your favorite spreadsheet software.
