The author wrote most of this book using Dragon Naturally Speaking voice- dictation software (www.nuance.com) on a Windows laptop, then rushed the Microsoft Word files over the network to a trusty old Power Mac G4 (hot-rodded with twin pipes and a Columbia butt). The author captured the book's illustra- tions using Ambrosia Software's Snapz ProX (www.ambrosiasw.com) and Adobe Photoshop CS 3 (www.adobe.com) to touch them up.

Sumita Mukherji and Loranah Dimant provided quality control for Office 2008 for Macintosh: The Missing Manual. Ron Strauss wrote the index. The cover of this book is based on a series design originally created by David Freedman and modifed by Mike Kohnke, Karen Montgomery, and Fitch (www.fitch.com). Back cover design, dog illustration, and color selection by Fitch. David Futato designed the interior layout, based on a series design by Phil Simp- son. This book was converted by Keith Fahlgren to FrameMaker 5.5.6. The text font is Adobe Minion; the heading font is Adobe Formata Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's The Sans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macro- media FreeHand MX and Adobe Photoshop CS.
