You Asked and I Answered! Computer users who have been asking me computer related questions in past years have been urging me to compile all the questions, with my illustrated answers in book form. For sometime my daily project has been to collect all this data and now the book is almost ready.

The book is divided into subjects i.e. Microsoft Word, Micorosft Excel, Pictures, System Problems to name just a few. I believe that most frequently asked questions will be answered in this First Edition. As soon as the First Edition is ready the Second Edition will be started. As technology advances there are always new questions to ask so I will always have more information to give computer users world wide.

The biggest challenge that I have had, while writing the book, has been the index. I have tried to make the index “user friendly” so that even the beginner will be able to find the answer to their questions easily. I am thinking carefully about the phrases that computer users use when searching for answers to their problems and use these phrases to compile the index.

I am also including with the book a laminated “Bookmark Cheat Sheet” that can be kept near the computer for reference, showing everyday shortcuts. I use shortcuts for most of my computer work and want to share these with my readers to make their computing experience more fun and features easier to use.

Keep checking back for more information as I progress. Hopefully it will be ready soon.
