- [Voiceover] Hey there. I wanted to add a little video to address questions that I commonly hear from my Lynda.com viewers. First, though I recorded this title using Adobe CC 2015 and Microsoft Office 2016, aka 365, 98 percent of the content, the features, the advice, the techniques, will work with any version of Adobe software back to CS5, CS4. And really any version of the Microsoft Office programs from the past, I don't know, five or six years or so. Also, for you fellow Adobe Creative Cloud users, I have to tell you that I'm not a fan of the dark interface that is the default look for the programs. I think it's really hard to read on screen. So whenever I need to show Illustrator, InDesign, or Photoshop in this course, I'm always using the lightest interface, which you can set in Preferences. You don't have to do the same, but if you're wondering why my interface looks so much nicer than yours, well now you know. Finally, though a few of my lessons in this title were recorded partially or completely on Windows 10, most of them were recorded on a Macintosh. And the only reason I'm going so is because it's just more efficient for the recording process. I can assure you, though, that in my months of prep for this course, I tested and ran through everything I'm about to show you on Windows and Mac using both Office 2016 and Office 2013 on Windows. And on a Mac, Office 2016 and 2011. And, in the course, I'm not shy about sharing my discoveries and telling you when one platform does a better job of something than the other. And I hope that with this information, you'll better understand and enjoy the lessons in my course.
