Review of: Software Tips, Tricks and Keyboard Shortcuts for Freelancers from NerdyBooks

Review by: Nick Usborne

I have never seen any survey results on the subject, but my guess is that 95% of us never read a software manual, even half way through.

We open up Word, Excel or PowerPoint and just feel our way along. From time to time, we might need to figure out more about some feature or function, and then we waste time digging down into the help area.

Well, for all of us who would like to get more from the software we use, and be able to use it more efficiently -- help is at hand.

The folks at NerdyBooks.com don’t write manuals, they write tips. Or as they put it themselves, “Just the Tips, Man!”

In other words, each book, CD or download gives you instant access to dozens of tips to help you get more from the software you use every day.

Most of the tips take the form of a keyboard shortcut. And there are so many of them! Each time I learn about a new shortcut, I shake my head and wonder how I have been using a particular program for so long, without knowing that particular tip.

The software programs they have published tips for...

Word 2003
Word 2002
Word 2000
Excel 2003
Excel 2002
Excel 2000
PowerPoint 2003
PowerPoint 2002
PowerPoint 2000
Windows XP
Windows Me

In other words, they cover the core Microsoft Office programs many of us use on a daily basis. Plus XP and Me.

Here’s an example of one of their tips, for MS Word 2003:

Each publication contains literally dozens of tips. You won’t learn them all, or even need them all...but there are some you’ll find yourself using every day.

Concluding thoughts...

I have known the founders of NerdyBooks.com for years and can vouch for their sincerity and the quality of their publications.

If you want to learn how to be more efficient in your use of these core programs, I can highly recommend NerdyBooks.

You can buy one title at a time...as an ebook, printed book, CD or as licensed content.

Or you can buy suites of titles as a package and save a few bucks in the process.

If, like me, you never find the time to read the full software manual...then you probably need “Just the Tips, Man!”
