5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend it highly., February 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 for Dummies (Paperback)

This book has been enormously helpful to me. It explains the basics of using Photodraw thoroughly and gives you lots of ideas for using the tools and dealing with some of the program's quirks. I also learned a lot of stuff that I didn't know about working with computer graphics in general. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great instructions, February 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 for Dummies (Paperback)

I found this book to be of great assistance with easy to follow instructions. Following them gives a good product making one feel good about one's achievement. Since I am not an expert on "dummies" books as others indicate they are, (or do they have close ties with the this book's competition) I only use what works for me and this book does.

This review is from: Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 for Dummies (Paperback)

I was excited to get a copy of PhotoDraw 2000 and wanted to get up to speed ASAP. The For Dummies book did that and then some. This was my second Dummies book and I have been pleased with both. There were some good tips to work around limitations in the software and for setting up my scanner. You get a lot for your $ with both the software and the book.
