Laurie Ulrich Fuller has been writing about and teachingpeople to use Microsoft Office since the 1980's. Her teachingcareer goes back to the time before Microsoft Windows - whichmeans she also remembers the first time she taught people to use aWindows-based application, and a student picked up the mouse andaimed it at the computer screen as though using a TV remote. Nobodylaughed (except Laurie, after class), because everyone was new tothe mouse back then. As new as the mouse was, so was the idea ofkeeping a database on a computer that could fit on your desk-- and Laurie's been there through every new version ofAccess -- as Office has evolved to meet the needs of usersfrom all walks of life -- from individuals to hugecorporations, from growing business to non-profitorganizations. Since those early days of Office and Windows, Laurie has personallytrained more than 10,000 people to make better, more creativeuse of their computers, has written and co-written more than 25nationally-published books on computers and software --including several titles on Microsoft Office.
