Best Program In MS Office to use for the project

[eagertolearn]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum, so please bear with me if this is in the wrong place.

I need advise on the best program to use for compiling a small cookbook
and then transferring the data to CD. Once on the CD, we want it to be
functional as a cookbook. We need a Table of Contents that you can click on
and be taken to the recipe or at the very least the category. There is also
an index which hopefully will do the same.

I have been told to use FrontPage and hyperlinks or Powerpoint and make it
into a presentation or Word.

I am really confused right now. I thought this would be a very simple
project. By the way, this is a fundraising project for Katrina surviors, not
for profit.

Any, and I do mean any information that can get me directed in the right
direction will be greatly appreciated. I don't mind reading, going through
lessons, etc. I just need to know what to read and learn.

Thank you so much

I would use Publisher and Acrobat but that's just my preference.

Hi,
Thank you for responding.
Could you give me more information on to why this is your preference? I
am still learning MS Office and can use as much input as possible.

I would use Publisher and Acrobat but that's just my preference.

1. They are programs that I use more often than anything else.

2. Most computers have Adobe Reader installed on their computer so viewers
will not need to download something new.

3. Publisher is a great program for easily laying out text and graphics.

4. Linking various pages is easy with Acrobat.

5. You can create one file that can be saved on a disk and/or taken to your
printer without having to tweak anything for the paper version.
