What you need to know and how to do it

 

When you're working on your PC or laptop and come up against a problem that you are unsure how to solve, or you want to accomplish something in application but you're not sure how to do it, where do you look? Manuals and traditional training guides are too unwieldy and make it hard to get to the info you need right away (and help-lines are rarely that helpful!) Brilliant guides allow you to find the info you need easily and without fuss and guide you through each task using a highly visual, step-by-step approach – providing exactly what you need to know when you need it!
