The No Stress Tech Guide to ACT 2009 by Indira Murphy is a great book. I found it to be clear in its instructions and really easy to follow. I wanted to modify ACT2009 to fit my needs as a Financial Planner as the Financial Planning version is not available here in Australia. With Indira's clear text ,page screen dumps I found the process easy. The whole book is presented in a way that you can use parts of it to follow what you want to do or read the whole book to bring yourself up to speed. It saved me a lot of money over a $1000 to do the same job that others have paid to have done.
