In addition, there’s material that covers using Mail Merge with Maxwell data files and how to setup the use of Plain Paper Forms. And finally, there’s information called “A Look Ahead” that describes some of the future updates that Maxwell plans.

Either call me or Heidi Simon at Maxwell Systems to order your CD. You’ll should find the information very useful!

As you may be aware, there’s two types of menus to navigate through your Maxwell Systems Maxwell Management Suite software.

The Explorer style menus look and act like the Windows Explorer feature. The Button style menus are similar to the old menus before you updated to the Windows version of your software.

So even though Maxwell would encourage you to use the Explorer menus, you will still have access to those good ol’ Button menus.
