The program is easy to use, but here are some things you should know:

 

You can save calculations in a file. You save by clicking the Save button, which will save the settings for every tool, not just the currently selected one.

It may not be obvious how to edit a cell in a grid. Simply select the cell then press F2.

 

A fast way to change the month or year in a drop down calendar control is to click on the year or the month. You will see a mechanism for selecting the one you want.

Request email help through the Help|Ask Lawtech menu item.

 

Context sensitive help is provided throughout the program. Select the control (grid, checkbox etc) and press F1.
