This introductory text explains in detail the basic as well as essential features of Windows XP, MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and MS Outlook. The book has been divided into six parts: Introduction, Basics of Operating Systems, Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Other Essentials. The coverage presented in chapters of each part take the novice reader from introduction to skill development. It is a fair assumption that after practicing the exercises, reasonable confidence will be developed by the beginners. Special chapters have been added for the anxious readers on MS DOS, Computer Viruses and Internet Access. This text has been designed considering the coverage necessary for a general course on PC Software being offered in BCA, BBA, MSC (IT), PGDCA, MCA and MBA streams, polytechnics as well as in engineering colleges. It will also be very useful to anyone wanting to be familiar with PC Software for office applications in business or personal applications at home. About The Author R.P.
