T hanks to Executive Editor Carol Long for sticking with me (Lisa A. Bucki) for my second experience pulling together the contents of this Bible. Carol, it was a pleasure getting the job done for you. I also appreciate the recommendation for this project that I received

from my friend Jim Minatel.

Thanks also to Adaobi Obi Tulton, superhero Senior Project Editor. Adaobi, you handled this monster project while also wrangling a three-year-old at home, with the poise of a person rooted fi rmly in tree pose. Namaste.

⦁ John Walkenbach, Excel 2010 Bible

⦁ Herb Tyson, Word 2010 Bible

⦁ Michael R. Groh, Access 2010 Bible

⦁ Faithe Wempen, PowerPoint 2010 Bible
