So from now on, you'll spend less time getting the job done and more time pursuing success.

This book started out being a computer manual for Peggy to use in her training classes. Her students loved its format and content so much, she decided to dress it up and make it available to you.

Peggy's students often commented that other books they had found were too overwhelming and just too big to tackle. Realizing that few business people would ever read and study those big, thick computer manuals the way she d! oes, Peggy set out to create a simple guide that makes everything as easy as possible. Not a lot of pages-just quick, step-by-step instructions and pictures that will increase your computer know-how overnight.

Best of all, Just Show Me Which Button to Click! "Computer Training for Busy People" is loaded with beginning to advanced features that Peggy uses every day to save herself time. So, you can be sure Peggy's system works!

It's not enough to have the technology- you have to know what it can do and how to do it. Yet, if you don't take classes beyond the basics or read manuals or visit Help, how will you ever know?

This book offers the perfect solution!


Editorial Reviews

Review

"As a freelance marketer and copywriter, the faster I can complete a job, the more profitable it becomes. This book will boost my productivity and my bottom line." -- David Schwartz, Writer, Alexandria, VA

"Peggy, "Just show me which button to click!" is easy reading. Judging from my seven years experience in PC support, I estimate that helpdesk calls could be reduced by as much as thirty percent simply by making your book available to the EU (end user)." -- Mark Windsor, PC Consultant, Atlanta, Georgia

"This book made light bulbs go off in my head! Before, I had always been so frustrated whenever I'd tried to create a presentation. But overnight, I became a PowerPoint person. And just by knowing what to push, I created a presentation in 10 minutes that before would have taken me hours." -- Otis McCollum, VP Human Resources, The New York Times Regional Newspaper Group, Atlanta, Georgia

5.0 out of 5 stars Splendid introduction for computer phobic, total beginners., April 5, 2000
This review is from: Just show me which button to click! "Computer training for busy people" (Paperback)
Peggy Duncan was amazed at how little most people actually knew about the software in their computers -- even when they had been using it for years. She discovered that very few people actually read the user manuals and "how to" books for such widespread applications as Microsoft Windows 98, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 97. With this realization, Peggy set out to write Just Show Me Which Button To Click!: Computer Training For Busy People, a comprehensive, "user friendly", simplified guide that streamlines everything, that focuses on the user instead of the technology, and covers just those beginning to advanced features that are needed the most. Just Show Me Which Button To Click! is the best and highly recommended approach the computer phobic and the total beginner can have access to in getting up and running with these softwares for personal, academic, or business purposes.
