Welcome to the Microsoft Office wikibook. This book aims to be a comprehensive reference for the use of Microsoft Office for Windows, Microsoft Office for Mac, and Microsoft’s Office Online and Office 365 services. While this book doesn’t teach basic computer skills or general Windows or OS X usage, this book will cover a few core techniques that complement the use of Microsoft Office. In addition, many of the concepts in this book can be applied to other office packages; however, please note that the Microsoft Office user interface is relatively unique, so if you use another office package, you’ll need to find ways of performing the same task that work in that program.
