1 Great Book!
I've looked at most of Office for Mac books, and this one knocks me out. Very clear and thorough. I'm hoping they continue it for 2004.

2 My advice: do not buy this book
I purchased this book last year for my wife who uses Office at work on a PC and at home on a Mac. She frequently has trouble figuring out how to do something at home that she does every day at work. Certainly this is due to variations in "the same" Microsoft product. However, every time she has turned to "The Missing Manual" she can not find the answer to what she feels is a simple problem.

Just today she made a comment that we should just burn the book because it simply has never once taught her anything. Yes, it is full of hints and suggestions but to call it a "manual" is misleading. We have found it impossible to use as a reference, to look up something and find the answer.

I am very disappointed and do not recommend purchasing this book, save your money.

"It could be that Walter's horse has wings" does not imply that there is

any such animal as Walter's horse, only that there could be; but "Walter's

horse is a thing which could have wings" does imply Walter's horse's

existence.  But the conjunction "Walter's horse exists, and it could be

that Walter's horse has wings" still does not imply "Walter's horse is a

thing that could have wings", for perhaps it can only be that Walter's

horse has wings by Walter having a different horse.  Nor does "Walter's

horse is a thing which could have wings" conversely imply "It could be that

Walter's horse has wings"; for it might be that Walter's horse could only

have wings by not being Walter's horse.



I would deny, though, that the formula [Necessarily if some x has property P

then some x has property P] expresses a logical law, since P(x) could stand

for, let us say "x is a better logician than I am", and the statement "It is

necessary that if someone is a better logician than I am then someone is a

better logician than I am" is false because there need not have been any me.
