publisher of learner's guides?

[Richard Zane Smith]

Kweh George,
I've played around with it, but I can't manipulate  by enlarging, or
shrinking
no little white glove grabber fist to move things,
like you can do with pictures and text on powerpoint.
In comparison It seems confining,(can't move text boxes where i want them.
but maybe its because I need to start with a completely blank page?

since i finally figured out Powerpoint, (sort of)
(photoshop drives me nuts with those D@#&M layers!!  till i simply quit!)
maybe i'll try what you suggested
import a finished page (from powerpoint?) onto the book....see what happens.

another thing, i'm not sure why i get little yellow exclamation point
warning signs
on just about everything i upload..  whats with that??

I have to add,I spent five full days putting together a PowerPoint
presentation for ONLA, our Oklahoma Language Conference in Ada Okl.
only to have it all go haywire when i exported it from
my iMac onto a memory stick and plugged it in to the PC on the lectern.
Embedded audios failed (some did, some didn't)
the ones that *did* work had no volume...nobody in the auditorium could hear
it.
texts were loosing all their shading and some photos didn't appear at all.
Then to make it worse the whole slide series was projected *too large*
so text was often missing until i scrolled down, at which point
I'd accidently advance the slide to the next one....auuugh
and so it was ...a frustrating distracting nuisance to say the least.

people were wonderful and polite and told me "it was good",
but it really wasn't.

I'm NOT a HIGH techie, and when things go this bad i start losing any
 momentum i have left.
So much work to do! and this kind of  stuff drags like a dead weight.
