Teach your self

[TonyHarrison]

[b]Anyone know of any publications, CD's or DVD's that are good for learning how to use various applications e.g. Microsoft's Publisher, Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc. without assistance from a third party?

Hello Tony. Have you tried '?Help' in each application on your computer? Or searching the web. When I wanted details of my new monitor I typed the name of the manufacturer into Yahoo Search, which comes up with a menu of suggested sites to choose from. I found my model there and a pdf instruction file to download, if wanted. Hope this helps.

Audrey.

Thanks Audrey, I'll "have a go" using "help". Anyone else any other suggestions!!?? All will be most welcome. Tony H.

Hi Tony,

WH Smith's do a self help tutorial made up of the three main Office programs, Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
They come as three seperate books but packaged together and they cost around £14.00.

Thanks Brett, I'll certainly look out for those. I've also been given a website to look at which looks interesting. It is www.focusmm.co.uk for anyone else who's interested in self tuition. On that note, anyone else found any good "aids" for home tuition? Tony

Hello Tony, - Audrey again. Just had a thought re the books Brett mentioned. Have you checked them out on the Amazon site? Could be much cheaper. I've just bought a pack of original Epson 'Cheetah' inks for £22. 'Dummies' books are also a great help-yourself aid, also found in Amazon.
Thanks for sharing the website. I'm going to have a look.

Be seeing you.
