You'll learn how to use Word, Query, Excel, Access, and Outlook to generate mailing labels, form letters, and envelopes; to download data into spreadsheets; to produce queries and perform data retrieval; to create beautiful, sophisticated reports; and much more. If you have PCs attached to your AS/400, this book has the essential information that will allow you to harness the power of Microsoft Office and exploit the AS/400 database.
