About the Author(s):
Marty Matthews has used computers for over 40 years, from some of the early mainframe computers to recent personal computers and servers. He has done this as a programmer, systems analyst, manager, vice president, and president of a software firm. As a result, he has first-hand knowledge of not only how to program and use a computer, but also how to make the best use of the information a computer can produce. Over 23 years ago Marty and his wife Carole began writing books as a major part of their occupation. In the intervening years they have written over 70 books including ones on desktop publishing, web publishing, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft operating systems from MS-DOS through Windows Server 2003. Recent books of Marty’s published by McGraw-Hill include a number of the very popular QuickSteps series, including Windows XP QuickSteps and Microsoft Office Office 2003 QuickSteps.
