I am using this software and making this blog up as I go, and so everything here is based on my experience with the software and is a correct "How To" and not a copy paste of some other source(s).

I suggest you save your files before attempting any steps on this blog and use a blank or new document before following my tutorials so that you can be sure you have a backup if something happens.

This is primarily focused on the use of the Text and or Word app and the Spreadsheet (Excel) app and not the Drawing, Presentation or Database app at this time.  So, if go searching here you will only find things relative to those apps and basically how to "format" things like the layout, style, templates, use of extensions, etc..
