The Professional Approach Series is written to help student master Microsoft® applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access for Windows. The text takes you step-by-step through your personal and business lives.

The PA Series presents exercises in real-life business situations so students get hands-on experience working on actual projects--the best way to prepare them for the on-the-job challenges they'll face. Each lesson contains up to 25 skill-applications and 5 end-of-unit skill-applications that take students from simple to complex situations; each building on previously learned procedures. This building block approach, together with the running Case Study and the features listed below, enable students to maximize the learning process.
