Manual Changes

In general, the on-line help is more up to date than the manual, and it also contains much more detail. If there is a conflict between the manual and the help contents, the help should always be used.

Page 47 - Complete Verify

This option does not yet repair any damage which it finds - it just reports it to you. If you encounter an error, contact the support department for help on how to proceed.

Page 74, 79 - Batch Options

In the manual, all the batch options and the batch commands are shown in the screen shots. In fact, the options are split:

If the batch commands are shown, the button under the Transaction Assistant button is called Options. If the batch options are shown, the button is called Commands. You toggle between these views with the button.

Pages 258-259 - Email Number

The email number is not yet used. However, you must include a blank field in the import, as Pastel looks for this field.

Note as well, on the customer export, that the second last line tells you to create five separate blank fields.


Forms Designer

The Pastel Forms Designer is a generic product which is used in Pastel SOHO Accounting and in Pastel Partner Version 4. There is some functionality in the forms designer which Pastel SOHO Accounting does not use. These are:

•	Bar codes on inventory labels

•	POS (Point of Sale) invoices

•	Supporting documents.


Internet Access

You can now access Pastel's home page directly from the program. Pastel loads your default web browser, and then open either the Pastel home page or the SOHO Accounting page, depending on your choice.

You access these options in the Help...Internet menu options. For details on how these work, search for "Internet" in the on-line help.
