Chapter 1. Meet Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is a full-featured spreadsheet program that you can use to create worksheets and charts like the ones you'll create with this book.

This book covers Excel 2003 for Windows…

As you work with Excel, you'll see that it has a lot of the same interface elements you're familiar with from using your other Windows or Mac OS programs: windows, menus, dialogs, and buttons. And, as you work your way through this book you'll see that the Windows and Mac OS versions of Excel are remarkably similar—so similar that instructions for one version of the program usually work for the other.
