FAQIf you have questions about Paypal we have a special QnA page. How much does the Handbook cost?The Office Extras Handbook costs US$17.95 however subscribers get $5 OFF and pay only US$12.95. Equivalent prices are available in Canadian, UK, European, Australian and Japanese currency. You’ll be entitled to the other benefits for buyers like the exclusive discounts and FREE updates until 30 June 2006. All purchasers get free updates to the guide through 30 June 2006. What do I get?All purchasers get a comprehensive guide to our selected Office Extras – pages of original content with color screen-shots, table of contents and exclusive discounts for readers. The Handbook is in PDF format personalized for each buyer. For the one price you also get FREE updates and new editions of the guide throughout 30 June 2006. Which version of Office do I need?There are extras covered in the book to suit all versions of Office from Office 97, through Office 2000, Office XP (2002) and Office 2003. Many don't require a particular version of Office at all. What about the discounts?After choosing the products to be reviewed and explained in the Office Extras Handbook we have invited the makers to offer a special and exclusive price to readers only. The discounts vary but are all specific amounts or percentages off the normal retail price. We've not accepted more complex offers like '2 for 1' or bundles with other products - instead we've stuck to straight-forward discounts. We view these discounts as a bonus for our customers and not the prime reason for buying the Office Extras Handbook. It is quite possible that using just one of the offers will result in a saving of more than the cost of the e-book itself. Details on the discounts, the amounts and how to get these prices will be given in the Office Extras Handbook. Who wrote the ebook?The was written by the Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Office Watch and other newsletters, Peter Deegan with help from Helen Bradley, Helen Feddema and Michael Barden. What do I need to read the Guide?You need a copy of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader – version 5 or above. Most people will have the reader installed already but if not you can download it from here. The book can be read on any Windows or Macintosh computer that supports the Acrobat Reader. Some people have had general problems with the Acrobat Reader which have been solved by switching to the latest free v7 release from here How do I pay?You can pay via major credit cards or Paypal using a secure online system. Payment can be in US Dollars, Canadian dollars, Sterling, Euro, Yen or Australian dollars -- click here. You do NOT need a Paypal account -- just a major credit card. NEW! There is an offline payment option available where you can fax in your credit card details instead. Can I pay by check?No directly, we looked at this option however it would be slow and we'd have to charge an additional fee for the manual processing involved. However Paypal has an 'e-check' option for compatible US bank accounts - you choose this option when arranging payment from Paypal - click here. It takes a few business days to clear, unlike credit card payments that are cleared in seconds. Paypal won't accept my card or country!Paypal accepts most major credit cards however the exact cards available depends on your country of origin and their local policies. In addition some countries residents are, in effect, banned due to excessive fraud from those regions. This is a Paypal decision over which we have no control we have a special Paypal QnA page. However we do have alternative payment options that are available - click here. How big is it?The first edition is over 110 pages long. The PDF file size is around 3.5MB. Can I see before I buy?You're welcome to look at the first few pages – click here. How much advertising is there in the guide?None at all. This is a book you pay for, as opposed to the free newsletters, so there is NO advertising at all. What if I lose my copy of the Guide?You can download a fresh personalized copy of the Desktop Searching Handbook at any time from our web site. Just login and download. HIs this a prelude to a paper book edition?We're not intending to produce a paper book version of the - we feel that this part of the computer world is moving far too quickly for the paper publishing world to keep up. It would be prohibitively expensive for us (and you) to produce and distribute a 'real' book. A 'real' book runs the real risk of getting out of date soon after, if not before, it reaches you. In addition to the free update editions the ebook has features (like searching, bookmarks and annotation) that are not possible with a paper book. Can I print out the Handbook?Unlike many e-books, we let you print out a copy of the for your own use. However before you do please keep in mind:
Will there be more Office Watch Handbooks?This is our second E-book project after our popular Desktop Search Handbook released early in 2005. We hope to do more - it depends on finding suitable topics and the financial viability of the . We are trying to provide quality and timely content for a reasonable price -- if you, the customer, responds favorably then we'll be happy to make more titles in the future. For the moment we're focused on the existing titles not future maybe's. I've purchased the Guide - how do I get it?You'll be sent an email within a few hours, usually much sooner, with the link to download your personalized copy. But you do NOT have to wait for that email (in fact you might not get it due to over-zealous spam filters) - just login to our online shop http://shop.office-watch.com/eb/ , view your orders and a link to the download is provided for all completed orders. The same login and download link lets you get any future updates -- the latest version of the is always available from the same web site and login. I haven't seen any email with a link!
Don't panic - most likely the message has been caught in an overzealous spam filter. Please check your deleted items and Junk Mail folders for a message from us. Also keep in mind that many ISP's have their own spam filters and it might have been wrongly caught there - before you see it. In Email Essentials we've complained about ISP's who filter spam without any options for customers. Sadly these days you cannot assume that when you don't receive a message that means it wasn't sent at all. Just go to http://shop.office-watch.com/eb/ login using the email address and password you created when you purchased. View your current orders and a download link will be shown for all paid e-book orders. There's a 'Lost Password' option at our online store if you need it. With this system you can check the status of your order and get a download link at any time (whether you've received a confirmation email or not) which is always for the latest version of the e-book. If all else fails: ebookshopmanager@woodyswatch.com please include details of your order, especially the exact name and exact email address used with your order plus any other details you might have. The more information you can send us the easier it is for us to find your account and order. Do I need a Paypal account to purchase?No -- we use Paypal to process credit cards on our behalf. They are a well-known and respected company who can process multiple currencies. While in the past, Paypal might have required you to create an account with them, that is no longer the case if you simply wish to make a purchase. There is an exception that some customers have found. Paypal has a security feature that, like most security features is both sensible and annoying. Here's what happens: at some time in the past you created a Paypal account and recorded a credit card against that account. Now you try to pay directly with that same card and Paypal will insist that you login to use it. This is presumably a security measure to stop unauthorized use of a credit card that a Paypal customer has recorded. We have a special Paypal QnA page for common questions about Paypal. NEW! There is an offline payment option available where you can give us your credit card details for manual processing or fax in your credit card details instead. I hate Paypal!We are investigating other options (unlike some computer companies, when we say we are investigating it -- we really are!). Once we have found a reputable, secure and efficient option for credit cards we will implement it. While there are plenty of credit card acceptance systems out there we are fussy and particular not just for ourselves but our customers too. We have a special Paypal QnA page for common questions about Paypal. NEW! There is an offline payment option available where you can give us your credit card details for manual processing or fax in your credit card details instead. What DRM are you using?We looked at the major Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems for ebooks and found them wanting. They are too difficult for the reader to manage and we didn’t want to put our customers to that nuisance. But we do have to protect ourselves from copying and theft of a work that has taken us a long time to prepare. Each copy of the has the purchasers name embossed in it so the source of any illegal copying can be detected, we will withdraw the right to updates to any user who illegally copies the Guide. Can I have a copy on my desktop and laptop computers?Yes, certainly. Copying between two computers you use is fine. |
