A terrible book, strangely unhelpful and oddly organized.
As long time computer user with extensive experience with dBase, I was chagrined and frustrated with my attempts to learn Act!4 quickly with the help of this book. The author seemed to persistently overstate and elaborate on the obvious, while offering minimum assistance in the more opaque areas. Invariably, what I most wanted to know as a new user was either...

This review is from: ACT! 4 for Windows for Dummies (Paperback)
As long time computer user with extensive experience with dBase, I was chagrined and frustrated with my attempts to learn Act!4 quickly with the help of this book. The author seemed to persistently overstate and elaborate on the obvious, while offering minimum assistance in the more opaque areas. Invariably, what I most wanted to know as a new user was either unavailble or relegated to a chapter nearer the book's index than its beginning. The author, annoyingly, saw fit to repeatedly suggest securing professional help in various areas...and even (and I suspect, self-servingly) cited names of pros who the reader could hire. As a teaching tool, this book is a total bust..unless I'm just not enough of a "dummy" to appreciate it. It's my first and certainly last book of the Dummy series.

This review is from: ACT! 4 for Windows for Dummies (Paperback)
While the book is definitely helpful in learning ACT, it sometimes vaguely introduces topics and fails to adequately explain them. It also often discusses the same topic in 3 or 4 different chapters.

Jeffrey Mayer has collected the tips of some of the best minds in the ACT! world and compiled tips, tricks and suggestions in this volume. In addition, real world examples of time management and sales techniques using ACT! are clearly stated.

This review is from: ACT! 4 for Windows for Dummies (Paperback)
ACT! for Dummies is a resource where just one or two tips in this book can help you increase your productivity. Jeffrey Mayer has provided a resource on how to really customize ACT! for your business and help you make more money.This book is unlike most computer books in that it incorporates many tips on time management and productivity. An example is "Using a telephone headset to improve productivity". By the end of the book, you will have mastered design, advanced lookups, template creation, scheduling, report generation and using ACT! with the internet. I highly recommend this book. The best part is that it is easy to understand and has tips for users at all levels. This review was written by Andrew Kaplan, ACT! Certified Consultant who has trained thousands of ACT! users nationwide. |
