More About the Author

I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya and went to high school in Beirut, Lebanon. Guess it's kind of funny that the girl who grew up without television and telephones became a computer guru! I landed at the University of Florida, decided I didn't like cold weather, and have been in Florida ever since. I live in Del Boca Vista if you're a Seinfeld fan; Boca Raton to the rest of you.

This really does answer questions for me, a novice, on how to navigate, and does so as expected in a user friendly format, although I am no dummy (so I hope). It is well laid out, and organized.Like I indicate above in the review title, it exceeds the help from the Sage site itself.

This review is from: ACT! 2007 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

I have learned and mastered many programs over the years without ever having to go to a book to teach me. I have always used them for reference material for specific functions or tasks. I found ACT! to be one of the most powerful, yet frustrating programs I have ever used. It is simply not intuitive to a Microsoft user. I therefore resorted to this book.

This book helped tremendously in figuring out the quickest and most efficient ways of navigating around this program and mastering many tasks. It helped eliminate much of the frustration I was experiencing.
