  • The last person who customized the layout didn't line up anything and it is driving some of the staff batty.
  • You want to add a customized letter template to the Write menu, but can't quite figure out how to do it.
  • Your boss asked you to add a few fields to a standard report, but even thinking about making those changes is giving you a headache.

I've been writing on advanced ACT! topics for years. In addition to writing "The Official ACT QuickStudy Guide" sold on ACT's web site, I've worked with hundreds of companies over the last 20 years to help them better utilize technology. There's no one who knows more about how to customize ACT. I know that my easy-to-understand style will help even the novice user understand how to do-it-themselves. Check out a few sample pages.

This guide will teach you to easily add new fields to your ACT database and modify your layouts for a better work flow, and customize templates and reports so you can be more efficient, close more sales, make more money.

NOTE: This guide is version specific. Be sure to select the book that matches your version of ACT!
