ACT 2007 For Dummies is a reference book. As such, each chapter can be
read independently and in the order you want. Each chapter focuses on a
specific topic so you can dive right in, heading straight for the chapter that
interests you most. Having said that, however, I must say that Ive tried to put
the chapters into a logical sequence so that those of you who are new to ACT
can just follow the bouncing ball from chapter to chapter. More experienced
users can use the Table of Contents and the index to simply navigate from
topic to topic as needed.

Essentially, this book is a nutsandbolts howto guide for accomplishing various
tasks. In addition, drawing on many of my own experiences as a fulltime
ACT consultant and trainer, I include specific situations that should give you a feel for the full power of ACT.

I organized this book into six parts. Each part contains several chapters covering
related topics. The following is a brief description of each part, with chapter references directing you where to go for particular information

Part I The Opening ACT

In Part I, you get an introduction to the concept of a database and why ACT
has become such a popular choice of database users Chapter 1. In this part,
you read about what to expect the first time you fire up ACT Chapter 2 and
how to set the main preferences in ACT Chapter 3.

Part II Putting the ACT
Database to Work

Part II focuses on putting your contacts into ACT Chapter 4 and, more
importantly, how to find them again Chapters 6. I show you how to view all
the details about one contact, how to pull up a list of all your contacts, and even how to create an easy list report.

After you master organizing your contact information, Part II helps you organize
your day. ACT makes it easy to take notes Chapter 7 so that you start
relying on ACT more and your memory less. You find out how to schedule
appointments, calls, and todos and other important events in your life.
And, you discover how to view those activities in the daily, weekly, and monthly
calendars Chapter 8. Your life can become complicated, but have no fear
because ACT does its best to help you navigate through the maze. The History, Documents, and Secondary Contacts tabs allow you to accumulate lots of information about each and every one of your contacts Chapter 5.

Part III Sharing Your Information with Others
Corporate America lives for reports, and ACT is up to the challenge. Whether you want to print labels or telephone directories on commercially printed forms or prefer to utilize the ACT builtin reports, Part III shows you how. I even tell you about building your own reports from scratch Chapter 9.

One of the best features of ACT is the ability to communicate easily with the
outside world. Part III shows you how to work with templates to automate
routine documents as well as how to send out mass mail merges whether
by snail mail, fax, or email Chapter 10. You also discover the advantages of
using ACT for your email clients Chapter 11.

Part IV Advanced ACTing
Were all different and often like to do things in our own unique way. ACT
understands that concept, and Part IV helps you to customize ACT to your
hearts content. At first glance, ACT might seem like just an overthecounter
piece of software, but by adding fields Chapter 12 and placing them on customized layouts Chapter 13, you can make it perform as well as an expensive piece of proprietary software.

Every database needs an Administrator. If youre elected to the job, you need
to know how to perform administrative tasks, such as performing routine
maintenance, backing up your database, and checking for duplicate data
entry Chapter 14. Youll read about ACTdiag, the higherlevel maintenance
tool, and how to add multiple users to your database Chapter 15. If you have remote users who need to access all or parts of your database, you need to know how to synchronize your database Chapter 16.

Part V Commonly Overlooked ACT Features

Part V focuses on four of the most frequently overlooked ACT features
Microsoft integration Synchronize your ACT and Outlook address
books and calendars; attach a Web site in Internet Explorer directly to
an ACT contact; and explore the various ways that you can use ACT
and Excel together

Chapter 17.
Sales opportunities Track your prospective sales, prioritize them,
and analyze what you did right or wrong in making the sale

Chapter 18.
Groups Group your contacts to add a new dimension to your database

Chapter 19.
Companies The Company feature enables you to view and edit contacts that all belong to the same company Chapter 20.
In addition, I show you how to install and customize ACT Premium for Web, the online version of ACT Chapter 21.

Part VI The Part of Tens
With apologies to David Letterman, Part VI gives you two of my favorite ACT
lists. First, I discuss a few of the features that are only found in ACT Premium
for Workgroups Chapter 22. Finally, I give you ten of my favorite ways to help you utilize ACT to its fullest extent

He feels silly writing about himself in the third person like this and will stop now.

Good news This book is not meant to be read from cover to cover. Microsoft Word 2000 For Dummies is full of selfcontained sections, each of which describes how to perform a specific task or get something done. Sample sections you encounter in this book include

• Saving your stuff
• Cutting and pasting a block
• Quickly finding your place
• Aligning paragraphs
• A quick way to cobble a table together
• A caption for your figure
• Stepbystep mail merging guide

There are no keys to memorize, no secret codes, no tricks, no popup dioramas, and no wall charts. Instead, each section explains a topic as if it's the first thing you read in this book. Nothing is assumed, and everything is crossreferenced. Technical terms and topics, when they come up, are neatly shoved to the side where you can easily avoid reading them. The idea here isn't for you to learn anything. This book's philosophy is to help you look it up, figure it out, and get back to work.

This book informs and entertains. And it has a serious attitude problem. After all, the goal of the book is not to teach you to love Microsoft Word. Instead, be prepared to encounter some informative, downtoearth explanations  in English  of how to get the job done by using Microsoft Word. You take your work seriously, but you definitely don't need to take Microsoft Word seriously.

She built her first slide shows chock full of Newton's Laws and Far Side cartoons while teleteaching high school physics via satellite. And like all science teachers, she worships Gary Larson A bona fide Longhorn, Camille earned her bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin.

• Want to learn about their software without being bored silly
• Feel as though there should be a manual to explain the software manual
• Actually want to get some work done. Soon. Like today.
• Don't want to wade through a lot of technical gibberish/
• Don't think the way computer software engineers seem to think.

This book describes how to use all the programs of Microsoft Works 2000, separately and together, plus some introductory things on Windows, disks, and other basics. In this book, you'll explore the following topics and more

• Window basics opening, closing, and painting them shut
• Word processing like food processing, only messier
• Spreadsheets for soft, comfortable naps on your spreadbed
• Databases for storing all your baseless data
• Graphics for charting uncharted waters and general doodling
• Calendarification, Calendarizing Using a calendar program
• Web browsing for schmoozing the Internet's World Wide Web
• Newsgroups for ranting about your pet peeves
• Email for sending and receiving messages and files
• Mail merge of letters, envelopes, and labels for doing your very own junk mail

Unlike software manuals, this book doesn't have to deliver a positive message about the software, so it doesn't breathlessly try to show you everything you could possibly do. Nor does it describe, as a manual does, every button and command. Instead, it focuses on the everyday things you have to do, gives you some background, points you toward shortcuts, and steers you around some of the stuff you probably don't need.

About the Authors BjoernErik Hartsfvang enjoys writing .For Dummies books because he hopes that he can spare others the frustration that he's experienced while trying to learn new software. In his daily life, he uses the computer as a tool to pursue interests as diverse as roleplaying games and preChristian Scandinavian history.

He has a master of arts in counseling psychology, which helps him deal with the stresses of his newest job. He is the author of several .For Dummies titles.
