Appropriate for any course teaching Windows software or any first computer course lab component teaching Windows applications. A picture is worth a thousand wordsand this text has plenty of pictures. Each module is filled with PicTorials, picture tutorials that teach students computer applications using screen shots to guide them each step of the way. This outstanding book also features helpful icons which 1) highlight common trouble spots for students, 2) preview procedures covered, and 3) later review information presented in PicTorials. Best of all, the book is packed with interesting exercises and activities that will stimulate and challenge students from a variety of backgrounds/majors. And the PicTorial approach used throughout makes the book equally successful in lecture, lab, or self-paced settings.
