When was the last time you read an office productivity guide that details how to create a personal balance sheet while explaining how an individual with significant property holdings and income could have financial difficulties? Or how to create queries and reports to analyze data within a database while examining the most intense and costly hurricanes to strike the North Atlantic in the past 100 years? Or how to create a bi-fold brochure containing beautiful images while discovering national treasures like the Blue Ridge Parkway? Or even provides a list of additional resources to encourage the reader to pursue learning even further beyond the lessons provided?

A Conceptual Guide to NeoOffice 2 was written by an educator who is as passionate about lifelong learning as he is of the software applications he uses and teaches. The book includes ten hands-on lessons that walk users step-by-step through the creation of various documents using the open source office suite. For users who wish to find specific instructions quickly and easily, four quick reference guides are also provided for each of the major applications bundled with NeoOffice 2.

Free yourself from license keys, product activations and costly upgrades for a productive office suite while discovering new places and learning lifelong skills. Read A Conceptual Guide to NeoOffice 2 for Mac OS X and discover why it isn't your typical computer software instructional guide.

Internet access is required to download the necessary lesson files and free NeoOffice software.
