After spending some time in our customer support department, you will quickly discover that some questions tend to show up over and over again. But that is quite alright. We love every opportunity we have to communicate with our customers. :)

While just going to the Help file may seem like the elementary thing to do, the truth is that there are many people who learn a program by simply doing. In other words, play now– read the instructions later. That is quite alright. We’re just glad that many find our product very intuitive and easy to use. When you do need help, just know that many of the answers you need are right under you nose.
