Richard Baker has written 20 or so computer-related books¿he has lost the exact count. He also spent more than a decade as editorial director of a PC training development group, writing with, about and sometimes around the many manifestations of Microsoft Office. In a previous life he was a newspaper reporter and editorial writer. He now lives and works on what are temporarily the outskirts of Houston, Texas, with his wife Beverly, a Border Collie, two PCs, a Mac and an Osborne 1.
