<font color="#cc0000">Right. There isn't much on the web anymore that's of much use to dialup users, IMHO.</font><br>2. It also looks as though any documents save to their server? How would I get a document onto my desktop, or into my mail? ==
<font color="#cc0000">Use the export button, which gives you a choice of export format and destination (standard dialog box).</font><br>3. The main application I would have here in our library is for people who receive .PPS or .DOC files in their email and want to open/edit them. The front page says you can import Word docs, but how would that work? Would people have to "save" the file first to our desktop, and then import it? ==
<font color="#cc0000">Right. But maybe not to the desktop, since, for example, at Lane we don't permit that by policy. We still have a few working floppy drives :) and we push the idea of personal flash drives wherever possible.
</font> I couldn't find a Help file in my brief tour, and I'm wondering how hard it will be for technophobes (most of our patrons) or those who have minimal computer skills, to learn. ==<font color="#990000">I think importing and exporting are as confusing for most people as "uploading or downloading" are. Nevertheless, do it once and you start to see how easy it is. Practice and it's no longer an issue. Just like anything else. - BH
