Using the Farm Works Tutorial

The Farm Works Tutorial is a useful source of help with your programs. The tutorial can be run directly from your CD while you are running your Farm Works programs or accessed via the Internet. Tutorials available on-line from the Farm Works website are updated continuously to reflect new areas of interest, and may be viewed directly from www.farmworks.com.

To use the tutorial located on your Farm Works CD:

1. While Farm Works is running, simply insert your Farm Works CD into your CD-Rom drive.

2. On the screen that appears, click on the "Tutorials and Demos" button. It's not necessary to install the tutorial unless you want an icon on your Start menu.

To use the on-line tutorials:

1. Go to http://www.farmworks.com/. Click on the Support section along the left side of the screen.
2. Click on the Support Page.
3. Click on the On-Line Tutorial Link under the Question section, or click on On-Line Tutorial under Support.

To navigate the tutorial:

For versions 8 and higher, once the tutorial is open, navigate using the listing, or tree, on the left side. Click on the topic you wish to view. The tutorials include step-by-step instructions for commonly asked questions, including screen shots of each step. For versions older than 8, select the program, then subject area you wish to view.

Tutorial information is grouped by program, then by categories within each program. The tutorial can be running at the same time as Farm Works.
