This book includes a set of tutorials to help pre-service and in-service teachers learn the suite of applications included in Microsoft Office XP.  The tutorials, with skill consolidation exercises, are designed to teach MS Word (including mail merge), Excel (including graphing and charting), Access (including reporting), and Powerpoint in the context of the K-12 classroom.  They also include a lesson on the Office drawing tools.
