ACT 2000 for Windows for Dummies

by Jeffrey J. Mayer

For years, we've all been keeping track of our activities by using some version of a to-do list. Some people write down all of their tasks on pads of paper and update the list every few days; others use daily planning books; and still others write everything on self-stick notes and paste them to the desktop, wall, and computer monitor.

Customer Reviews

ACT! 2000 a must for every user.

ACT! 2000 the software is an excellent product and I use it 2 or three times a day. ACT! 2000 for Dummies is extremely helpful and very entertaining. I learned alot from ACT! for Dummies. The first version of ACT! for Dummies was well written and ACT! 2000 for Dummies is even better. I bought it three or four years ago when I upgraded my software to ACT! 2000 and I still keep it handy and refer to it for all my ACT questions and how too's. I have also told everyone who uses ACT! 2000 to buy their own copy and keep it close by. TG

Good for beginners

This book covers a large amount of information very quickly. As a more advanced user of ACT!, I found most of the topics too superficial. However, my users frequently find the book very helpful in assisting them with basic tasks in ACT!. I found the constant references to the author's classes and other books somewhat annoying after the first several.

ACT!2000 Training

ACT!2000 for Windows for Dummies was the basis of lesson plans I developed for beginning, intermediate, and advanced ACT!2000 classes. Jeff has a knack for uncomplicating a feature-rich piece of software. He literally hand carries users through the program and enables them to take advantage of the best Personal Information Manager on the market.(Phil Ardussi is a consultant in NT4.0 installations and has been an enthusiastic ACT! user for over five years.)

A useful resource

This book is a good resource for any ACT! user and fulfills the needs of both the beginner and the seasoned user. It uses humor and a nice bullet-rich format to make reading easier. I encourage all of my ACT! clients to buy this book. You should, too.(This reviewer is an ACT! Certified Consultant.)
