Adobe PageMaker 7.0 - Illustrated (Illustrated (Thompson Learning))

This book is great!!! Downloading the necessary files has never been so easy.The instructions 2 go the site 2 download the files is in the book. This guy under me is telling a lie. You don't need the instructor files. That's 4 instructors ONLY. You download the STUDENT files on the site. These are the files you need. That is all. This book is very clear. I learned how 2 create my own brochures, .pdf manuals, reports, etc., just by using this book. I will be learning Flash MX using the Illustrated Series. Don't give this book a one just because you & your professor don't know how 2 access the internet. I suggest you & your instructor take an Intro course in computer science first before using this book.

This book needs a CD. I purchased the book 2 learn PageMaker, but was referred 2 a website 2 download the required files. Some of the files were downloadable, but the instructor files were not accessable -- & these files are necessary 4 completing the assignments.
Unfortunately, this book is used by many instructors. My instructor has been promising us the files 4 weeks on disk, but so far hasn't delivered.

If you want 2 learn PageMaker, buy Classroom in a Book by Adobe & save yourself a lot of heartache (It's got a CD with everything you need). Besides, Mr. Proot's style of instruction is less than clear, & while this download the files yourself approach may save the author some $$$ in not having 2 include a CD, it's a very weird way of doing business. The book is a ripoff. Big time.
