While most students
can cope with a product aimed primarily at small businesses, younger
users find the program too complex and the interface extremely
unfriendly. Teachers of early years students either try to avoid
Microsoft Office altogether or use another product.
Max’s Toolbox provides
students with a kid-friendly interface to Microsoft Word, Excel and
PowerPoint ®, to promote learning in a fun way.
MaxWrite for Word, MaxShow for PowerPoint® and MaxCount for Excel
includes simplified toolbars with enlarged icons, designed to create a
true child friendly environment. |

Our Miss eight year
old tester really enjoyed Max Show. She went out with a digital camera and
took photos of friends and with about five minutes of instruction created
a superb presentation with transitions, backgrounds, videos and speech
despite not having used Microsoft PowerPoint before. She particularly
liked the way that Peedy, a little green bird, flew onto the screen and
"spoke" her presentation.
Max's Toolbox, is easy to configure and easy to set it up for a network
that has individual logins and home directories. Online manuals come with
the program and there is a step-by-step tutorial to assist teachers and
students to become accustomed to all aspects of the program.
This is a product to put on the top of your list of purchases to ensure
your students have a smooth introduction to Microsoft Office.
