Help Documentation and Program Support
Getting Started Manual
If
you're just getting underway with AnyOrder, the following "Getting
Started" Manual may be helpful. It includes lots of screen
displays and very simple and to-the-point explanations. (Level I,
II & III users: the screen displays found in the manual are
from Level IV and V, but all of the material applies to your program as
well.)

AnyOrder's Built-in Help System
AnyOrder has an extensive help system built into the
program. We take great pride in 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.
Many computer software programs have only rudimentary help information
which requires you to search the web or to seek out other sources of
documentation in order to run the program.
AnyOrder isn't like that.
We think that full and complete help documentation should come right
along with the program. You shouldn't
have to look elsewhere to figure out how to do something.
All in all, you'll find that AnyOrder's built
in help system a refreshing change from most software out there.
In fact, over 450 pages of help information are included with
the Level I, II and III programs, and 800 pages of help information are included
with the Level IV and V programs. You'll
find the basics to help get you started, tips to improve your business, and plenty
of details when details are needed.

Support
If it's a short question that
we can answer quickly, there's no charge for support. Yes. You heard
that right. We do not charge for short, easily answered questions.
If, however, a question takes more time and effort on our part, then,
of course, we do need to charge. It depends on much staff time it
takes, but on average, our rates start around $20. (How does that
compare? Microsoft charges $59 for Vista support, and you'll find
similar costs with other software companies.)
But,
in most situations, you'll find that it's not necessary to seek
support. AnyOrder, itself, has a simple, natural feel to it. It's easy
enough to use that some users rarely ever refer to the help
documention. Each of the screen displays throughout the program help
guide you from one process to another.
We believe that most users would rather help themselves, and, thus, as
explained above, we've included hundreds of pages of help documentation with the
program. The documentation covers all aspects of the program and
includes helpful hints and suggestions. You can reach the help
documentation by clicking on the "Help" buttons found throughout the
program or selecting HELP > SEARCH HELP from the menu on top of the
screen.
How to Reach Us & A Note About Calling
We
understand that despite all of the help documentation provided with the
program, questions will come up. If you can't find an
answer to a problem, then, by all means, you are more than welcome to
contact us.
You can reach us by emailing us or by calling. You'll be happy to
know that you don't have to fill out an on-line form or wade through a
phone menu system. You'll also happy to know that we take care of all
support in-house. You won't be sent to deal with someone in a remote
"call center." Rather, you'll be able to talk and/or correspond with
members of our programming staff who know the program better than
anyone.
A note about calling. If you are seeking free support (when we answer
short questions), we just ask
that you call us. (In the same regard, we are unable to return phone
calls if it concerns free support.) If you call and can't reach us,
drop us an
email. We'll provide you with the best times to call.
