Learn Excel 2010 Essential Skills with The Smart Method: Courseware Tutorial for Self-Instruction to Beginner and Intermediate Level;

This Excel 2010 book is very, very different to any other computer book you have ever read. The Smart Method provides an entirely new and better way to learn Excel 2010. Here are just six of the many ways in which this book is unique:

• The book will equip you with excellent Excel 2010 skills, good enough to impress any employer, but it doesn't confuse by attempting to teach skills that are not common in the workplace. Only users who have advanced requirements need progress to the Expert Skills book.
• Instruction is logically structured into sessions and lessons. While this makes the book ideal for self-instruction, you can also use it to run your own, highly effective, adult training courses.
• Every lesson is presented on two facing sheets of A4 paper (the pages are much bigger than in any other Excel book).
• Each lesson has a sample file that models a real-world business problem.
• Most print edition book purchasers (who live in the USA) can also download a Kindle e-book version of the book for less than a dollar. Look for the Kindle MatchBook panel at the bottom right of this page for more details.  You can start learning Excel right now while you wait for your printed book to arrive.
• The e-book version of this book is produced using Amazon's new Print Replica format.  This full-color format preserves the beautifully crafted, rich graphical layout of each page in the book.
