Acknowledgments

As always, it was a joy to work with everybody at Microsoft Press as we put together Faster Smarter Microsoft Office System “ 2003 Edition for you. The goal was to update, improve, and streamline the earlier edition, giving you the techniques and know-how you need to accomplish your tasks in the shortest possible time. I think we hit the mark (you ll have to let us know <g>). But we couldn t have pulled it off without the talent and perseverance of a number of excellent publishing professionals. I want to send a huge THANK YOU to Kristen Weatherby (you re missed!), Alex Blanton, Laura Sackerman, Carmen Corral-Reid, Thomas Keegan, and Donald Cowan for their terrific work on this project. Also, a special fond thank you to my agent, Claudette Moore, who introduced me to Microsoft Press way back when and continues to provide terrific ideas, insight, and guidance on each of the books we do together.
