| Q1: |
If my system is 8.1 or lower,
what should I do?
|
| A1: |
If you are running System 8.1 or lower, you
should upgrade to System 8.1/8.5/8.6/9/X. System 8.1/8.5/8.6/9/X
is a set of system software enhancements that improves the
reliability and performance of all Mac OS compatible computers.
You can download updates at Apples FTP or Web site.
|
| Q2: |
What should I do if I get a "Memory is low!"
message within the program or if the program is running slowly?
|
| A2: |
Those might be signs that your system is low in memory. To solve the
problem, try the following:
- Close any applications that you are not working with.
- Free up some disk space. Some applications use free disk space to temporarily store
information that does not fit into memory. When the free disk space is low, the system may
run out of available resources.
- Quit and restart the program.
- Locate the subject icon and click on it once to highlight it. Go to File and
then Get info. Under the memory section, make sure that the preferred
size is at least 8MB (8000KB).

| Q3: |
What should I do if the program is experiencing printing
problems? |
| A3: |
Under the Apple Menu, click on Chooser
and make sure that you have selected the correct printer model. |
| Q4: |
The program loaded, but the screen is blurry. |
| A4: |
Change your color settings to 256 colors. If you are using 256 colors and
this occurs, change it to High Color (16-bit). |
