Osborne/McGraw-Hill and Corel Corporation work closely together to publish books on Corel products so we can provide readers with timely, insightful, and helpful guides to help users get the most out of Corel's products. The Official Guides to Corel software represents a giant step in Corel's ability to disseminate information to our users with the help pf Osborne/McGraw-Hill and the creation of the CorelPRESS series of books. Congratulations to the team at Osborne who have created this excellent book, and congratulations to the team at Corel who supported the creation of this book!
