glossary of tems ?

[I]

Where can I find a glossary explaining the terms used in Excel. The help
menu assumes you know the meaning of all the terms.

A Google search for: Excel Glossary Terms produced all kinds of stuff.

Yes it does produce "all kinds of stuff", but nothing useful. Did you
actually check any of them out?

Where can I find a glossary explaining the terms used in Excel. The help
menu assumes you know the meaning of all the terms.

I have that problem, too, and I am hardly a novice with computers, PCs
or Excel.

My approach to solving the problem was to buy a basic how-to book on
Excel. I chose one of Walkenbach's book, based on recommendations. In
fact, I have several of his books (not all on Excel). IMHO, none of
his books is very good as a reference text. I cannot quickly find
information to save my soul. But if you read the intro material
cover-to-cover, he does a pretty good job of explaining basic
terminology. (The only problem is: you will never find it again.)

Additionally, post here with questions about specific terms. Most
people in these newsgroups (forums) are reasonable and helpful, even
with "newbie" questions.

BTW.......a search on the internet for excel glossary of terms yielded many
hits.

Perhaps instead of criticizing Earl you could spend some time searching on your
own.
