Help System

Top  Previous Topic  Next Topic

 

A complete on-line help system has been built into the program.  We are quite proud of the help system, and are constantly updating it, trying to make it even better.  Each year we look carefully at users' questions, and if we find that we are missing useful information, we add it or refine the existing material.  You'll find over 400 pages of information.

The help documentation is accessed by selecting HELP from the Menu Bar.  The help system has been set up using standard Windows commands and procedures.  Information on topics of general interest may be reached from the Contents page

Special information has also been developed to help you get started.  For quick introduction of the program, see A Brief Introduction or select HELP and GETTING STARTED from the Menu Bar.  For information on how to prepare the program so it is ready to work in your business, see Preparing the Program for Your Use.

Information on which version of the program you are using is found in the "About" dialog box.  It is accessed by selecting HELP and ABOUT from the Menu Bar.  In addition to the version number, the About box lists copyright information, the individual or business name to which the program is registered, the number of times that the program has been used, contact numbers (phone & email), and some basic system information including the amount of disk space left on the program disk drive, and the local and network directories if you are using the program in a networking environment.
