Using This Book to Study 
for a Certification Exam

The Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) exams for individual programs 
in the 2007 Microsoft Office system are practical rather than theoretical. You must
demonstrate that you can complete certain tasks rather than simply answering questions
about program features. The successful MCAS certification candidate will have at least six
months of experience using all aspects of the application on a regular basis; for example,
using Outlook at work to send messages, track contact information, schedule appoint-
ments and meetings, track and assign tasks, and take notes.

This book has been designed to guide you in studying the types of tasks you are likely
to be required to demonstrate in the MCAS exams for Microsoft Office Word 2007,
Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office Access 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint
2007, and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

Each part of the book covers one exam. The coverage for each exam is divided into
chapters representing broad skill sets, and each chapter is divided into sections ad-
dressing groups of related skills. Each section includes review information, generic
procedures, and practice tasks you can complete on your own while studying.

Throughout the book, you will find Strategy tips presenting additional methods of stud
you can pursue on your own to ensure that you achieve mastery of a skill set and are
successful in your certification effort.

Photoshop CS5 Ebook for Dummies

Adobe Photoshop is one of the most important computer programs of
our age. It’s made photo editing a commonplace thing, something for
the everyperson. Still, Photoshop can be a scary thing (especially that first
purchase price!), comprising a jungle of menus and panels and tools and
options and shortcuts as well as a bewildering array of add-ons and plug-ins.
And that’s why you’re holding this book in your hands.

This is a For Dummies book, and as such, it was produced with an eye toward
you and your needs. From Day One, the goal has been to put into your hands
the book that makes Photoshop understandable and useable. You won’t find
a technical explanation of every option for every tool in every situation, but
rather a concise explanation of those parts of Photoshop you’re most likely
to need. If you happen to be a medical researcher working toward a cure for
cancer, your Photoshop requirements might be substantially more specific
than what you’ll find covered here. But for the overwhelming majority of the
people who have access to Adobe Photoshop, this book provides the back-
ground needed to get your work done with Photoshop.
