Books by Evans:

Advanced Office 2007 : A Working Textbook

A working textbook meant to be used with a college course in Advanced Office 2007. Filled with Tips and Techniques, it is great as a standalone reference.

Quick and Easy Web Sites

This book describes the method I use to build simple Web sites. I use FrontPage 2003, but other applications could be used. I believe you will find this instructional book easy to follow and a worthwhile addition to your tool bag.

Windows Tips

A series of tips for using Microsoft Windows by consultant Dick Evans. This book is not a basic how to book. It is filled with short tips on getting more out of the Windows experience. Ways to use the computer to get a task accomplished you may not have seen before. Filled with shortcuts and techniques, you will pick this up time and again. Yes, the tips work for XP, Vista and 7.
