It uses many different "windows" on the screen, one for each task. The basic idea is to create a working environment that as closely as possible relates to the way you handle papers, files and documents on your desk.Accounting tasks normally require that you work with several documents at the same time. This fact is reflected in the design of FirstOffice, and documents and reports are handled in a slightly different manner to what you may be used to in word processors or spreadsheet programs. FirstOffice therefore contains a number of features that you may not be familiar with. If this is the first program you will be using in a Windows, Linux or Macintosh environment, you should first of all take the time to learn as much as possible about the computer and how to use it. And you must of course be sure that the correct version of the computer's operating system is installed. Talk to your computer dealer or consultant if you are uncertain. In the Accounting Principles section of these web pages, you can read more about the basic accounting tasks in a business. Please ensure you read it if this is your first attempt with computerised accounting. Even if you are an experienced computer user, you should read this Introduction, because FirstOffice contains a large number of features designed to facilitate your work and to make it faster. If you are the 'I-never-read-manuals' type of person, you will of course be able to use FirstOffice anyway - it is very simple. But there are some not so obvious shortcuts that can save you a lot of time. They are all in these web pages. Previous Next Top Entire Chapter in Printable Form |
