Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Guide

The logo on the cover of Benchmark Series Microsoft Excel 2000 by Nita Rutkosky and Meredith Flynn means that Microsoft has approved it as courseware that teaches students the skills necessary to pass the Microsoft Office Specialist Core Certification exam in Excel 2000. These skills and the corresponding page numbers of related instruction in the text are presented in a chart on the page that precedes chapter 1 of each level and are also presented below.

The Microsoft Office Specialist program is used to test and validate a student’s skills and thereby supply objective proof to an employer (or prospective employer) that the student knows how to use a program efficiently and productively. For more information on the Microsoft Office Specialist program and on certification testing sites, visit Microsoft’s Web site at www.microsoft.com or the specific Microsoft Office Specialist site at www.mous.net.
