About the AuthorGreg Harvey has authored tons of computer books, the most recent beingExcel Workbook For Dummies and Roxio Easy Media Creator 8 For Dummies,and the most popular being Excel 2003 For Dummies and Excel 2003 All-In-OneDesk Reference For Dummies. He started out training business users on howto use IBM personal computers and their attendant computer software in therough and tumble days of DOS, WordStar, and Lotus 1-2-3 in the mid-80s ofthe last century. After working for a number of independent training firms,Greg went on to teach semester-long courses in spreadsheet and databasemanagement software at Golden Gate University in San Francisco.His love of teaching has translated into an equal love of writing. For Dummiesbooks are, of course, his all-time favorites to write because they enable himto write to his favorite audience: the beginner. They also enable him to usehumor (a key element to success in the training room) and, most delightful ofall, to express an opinion or two about the subject matter at hand.Greg received his doctorate degree in Humanities in Philosophy and Religionwith a concentration in Asian Studies and Comparative Religion last May.Everyone is glad that Greg was finally able to get out of school before heretired.
