Summer Hiatus

Hello All,

It's been a bit of a hiatus for me - computer problems and getting Office 2010 installed and working. Now, all is well and fixed and next week I will be back to regular posts. Hope your summer is going fine. I am still posting daily on the Facebook Fan page and you can get the latest downloads, tutorials and more there.

High Degree of Frustration with Office 2010 Installation

I am having such an incredibly high degree of frustration with installing Office 2010 Home and Business edition. I'm getting considerable errors over and over again - from the installation not recognizing a Q drive to errors for Click to Run to all kinds of other annoyances. Right now, I don't have Office and can't use it. Do NOT buy this software yet. My recommendation is to wait awhile.

Thanks, BB

Self Playing Presentation with video. Awesome!

 

Now. Imagine, using PowerPoint to create your own CBT. You don't have to be an educator, you can be anyone trying to make anyone else informed about any topic in the world. If you haven't downloaded the PowerPoint 2010 BETA - go do that now.... you know you'll be buying it.

And I cannot even start to begin talking about how this feature will benefit independent business people, organizations and such. Can you imagine? Creating coursework with your OWN video content and easily making movies to sell, share, or distribute within your organization?
