Four Hours Is Too Long
My computer class was very good but four hours is too long. It was supposed to be 6-9. By 8:30, I was fired up and ready to come home and try something on my own. When it went on to past 9, I started to lose enthusiasm. By 9:30 I couldn't figure out the vertical and horizontal guide settings. The information just boggled my mind and I felt foolish. But I compensated by just drawing text boxes where it looked like they belonged, and I longed to be finished. When it was nearly 10 Sue went on overload, too, and finally our instructor said we'd better not start a new lesson.
I think I would like to have nine days of classes with one hour each. I think I could learn the most that way. Fortunately, I already do know a lot of the basics about the program because most of it so far is just the fundamentals, but I did learn at least five things today. And I have a book that will be mine.
I think the real benefit is that in the end our instructor says that she'll give us her phone number and we can call her if we have any further questions after we've covered the material in the book. I'm all for that. I need a real live question answerer to help me.

Yes, I know about the text box and I think there's a way that I should be able to make the text box into a border line, --in fact, I got a heavy blue line around one in the class time. But I don't remember how we got there. What I did now was take the rectangle and put that outline around the text box, but I am sure there's a better way. Thanks for offering suggestions.

Oops! I see you already use text boxes; please disregard my last comment. ;)
That's nice of the instructor to hand out her phone number. I'd be making good use of it too.
