Okay, thanks a lot. Yeah, I'm sure that no matter what version the
PowerPoint, the basics will apply for now.
I'm like a babe in the woods raised by other babes in the woods when it
comes to office applications.
Until June, I used a Jaws demo, and wordpad on the computer I was using
wouldn't work, so it was either notepad or HJpad, and neither of those even
come close to offering the stuff that Office offers.
I had to play catchup a great deal when I got this computer because so many
things weren't loaded on the old system running 98 SE because there just
wasn't memory.
Now I've got enough memory and am running XP and it opened new doors for me.
I've finally gotten to the point that I have less disagreement with xp than
I did, and I'm wanting to get into this stuff that I haven't had the
pleasure and opportunity to learn.
