Book Author

How to Use PowerPoint 2000 by Susan C. Daffron

Involvement: Author

This book had extremely strict writing requirements. Each section area and topic had to be a specific number of words to fit the somewhat rigid full-color layout specifications.

Microsoft Office Expert Solutions (Que) - Susan C. Daffron

Involvement: Contributing Author

Susan wrote the Word chapters of this book, which were called Critical Skills in Word, Word Macros, Word Styles, Customizing the Wordspace, and Desktop Publishing in Word

She originally wasn't supposed to write the macro chapter, but was tasked to "save the day" when the original author flaked.

Contributor/Technical Editor

Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2000 is a monumental tome by Woody Leonhard and Ed Bott.

Involvement: Contributor

Woody needed files to use as examples, so Susan made up a fictitious company and created a number of Word documents and PowerPoint presentation that appear throughout the book.

Susan Daffron even gets a mention in the acknowledgements page, "Susan Daffron came up with the outstanding Three Dog Delight sample files." (Inside scoop: the logo is a caricature of our three dogs...dog lovers, click here to see the real hounds in action.)

Easy PowerPoint 2000 by Laura Stewart

Involvement: Technical Editor

Laura had this to say of Susan's work: "They did a surperb job of editing the grammatical, logical, and technical content of the book, making several significant suggestions that have greatly improved this Easy PowerPoint book."

Teach Yourself Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 in 24 Hours by Alexandria Haddad

Involvement: Technical Editor

Alexandra said: "Both of my tech editors, Mitch Millam and Susan Daffron, were great."

Technical Books

Involvement: Editing and Layout

Software used: Microsoft Word, Corel Draw, Ventura Publisher

Susan used print-on-demand printing before it really had an official name when she worked for a technical publisher in the early 90s. These books were laid out in a desktop publishing program called Ventura Publisher and the files were sent to a Xerox Docutech.
