Q. I'm not a PC "power user." Is learning to use this difficult?
A. We created Eight-in-One so you can learn to use it in less than an hour. The program's obvious-to-use menus work the same way in every part of the program. This means that once you've learned the basics of the word processor, using the database of the spreadsheet will be second nature. And, Eight-in-One's "help" option is always only a keystroke away, ready to bring you the information you need to accomplish the task at hand. So you'll be ready to tackle a demanding workload in hours, not weeks or months.
Q. What happens if I have a problem using Eight-in-One?
A. Should you need assistance with a technical question- or even if you just misplaced a manual or damaged a disk- our Product Support Representatives are ready to help you every business day. Unlike many software companies, we do not charge for the technical support we provide to registered Eight-in-One users.
Q. What if Eight-in-One doesn't meet my needs after I've been using it?
A. Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. For this reason we provide a 30-day money-back guarantee. In addition we offer a 90-day "no-risk" guarantee. If you decide a more expensive integrated program will work better for you, send us your Eight-in-One, your paid receipt, and the name of the program you want, along with payment for list price difference. We'll buy it for you.
