Access 2007 for Starters: The Missing Manual
Author: Matthew MacDonald
This fast-paced book teaches you the basics of Access 2007 so you can start using the program right away. Rather than include every detail, Access for Starters: The Missing Manual shows you how to work with Access's most-used features and Microsoft's new context-sensitive user interface. Ideal for small businesses and households, Access runs on PCs and manages large stores of information, including data, pages of text, and pictures -- everything from a list of family phone numbers to an enormous product catalog. However, each new version of the program crammed in yet another set of features; so many that even the pros don't know where to find them all. Access 2007 breaks the mold: Microsoft completely redesigned the user interface with a tabbed toolbar and context-sensitive menus that makes features easy to locate. One thing that hasn't improved is Microsoft's documentation. Even if you find the features you need, you still may not know what to do with them. This concise For Starters Manual sticks with the basics -- just enough to get you going on your own Access database.

Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book
Author: Adobe Creative Team
You've added Adobe PageMaker7.0 to your digital studio (or plan to). Now pick up the fastest, easiest, most comprehensive way to master the award-winning page-layout program—Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book. This bestselling, hands-on workbook and CD package delivers something no other guide can: Adobe's official training series, developed by the company's own experts and tested in its classrooms and labs.
Each chapter is a self-paced lesson, based on real-world design projects. And each project builds on the skills you learn in previous lessons. For example, you may start by creating a single-page, black-and-white flyer, then quickly progress to more challenging projects, such as designing professional-quality letterhead, an eight-page CD booklet, a sports catalog, a Web-based newsletter, and more. Along the way, you'll learn to take advantage of version 7.0's new features, including its seamless integration with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, its ability to merge text and images from database and spreadsheet programs, and the way it now allows you to view and create PDFs, as well as open and edit QuarkXPress documents.
