Each question must be answered to properly complete a document. The Question and Answer Screen is divided into four sections: 1. Question and Example 2. Comments 3. Response Area 4. Prompt Line  Entering an Answer þ If the Question requires an answer from the keyboard, simply begin typing. þ If you make a mistake while typing an answer, you can correct your answer using the backspace, delete or insert keys. You can also press the [F2] key to erase your entry and start over (see Editing Key Summary earlier in this Help Topic). Note: Home Lawyer requires that all questions be answered. If you don't know the answer to a question, type a question mark (?) and press [Enter] or [F10]. You can go back and complete the question at a later time.  Entering States When a question asks for the name of a state, use the two- letter abbreviation. Home Lawyer will automatically convert the two-letter abbreviation to the entire name when necessary (i.e. WA will convert to Washington). þ If you are unsure of the state abbreviation, select the topic General Editing from the Help Menu. þ Highlight State Abbreviations and press [Enter] to display the list of state abbreviations. þ Press [Esc] three times to quit Help. Hint: If you prefer, you can enter the entire state name (e.g. Washington).  Entering Dates All dates are entered in the MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY format. Home Lawyer will automatically convert it to words when needed in the completed document (e.g. 09/28/90 will convert to September 28, 1990). For some questions, Home Lawyer automatically suggests the system date (the current date entered in your computer). þ Press [Enter] to use the suggested date and continue to the next question. þ To change the suggested date, type over the existing date.  Selecting a Response Some questions require selecting an answer from a list. You will be asked to type the letter of your choice. þ Enter the letter of the desired response. The selected response will appear in the Response Area. þ If you make a mistake, enter the letter of your new choice. þ Press [F10] Next or [Enter]. The program accepts the answer and moves on to the next question.  Changing an Answer If you have already moved on to the next Question and want to correct or change a previous answer, you have two choices: 1. Press [F9] to move back question by question. Use the editing keys to make changes (see Editing Key Summary earlier in this Help Topic). When the change is complete, press [F10] to move forward. 2. At the end of a Question and Answer session, you can edit your answers. See Edit Answers later in this Help Topic.  Using Your Saved Answers Home Lawyer automatically saves your answers when a document is completed. The document can be re-created using those answers without re-typing information. þ To prepare a document using your saved answers, highlight the document title from the Main Menu and press [Enter]. Home Lawyer automatically checks to see if a set of answers for that document exists. When one exists, a prompt appears. þ Use the arrow keys to highlight the desired option. þ Press [Enter]. Select Use Previous to use the saved answers to complete the document. Select Create New to ignore the saved answers and enter new ones. If you select Create New, Home Lawyer will display the first Question and Answer Screen. The Response Area will be blank, ready for you to type new answers. If you select Use Previous, the Options Menu appears. þ Use the arrow keys to highlight the desired option. þ Press [Enter]. See Review and Print Options earlier in this section for a description of your options.  Using Document Worksheets The worksheet option prints a list of the questions used with a particular document. Use the worksheet as a guide when collecting information. þ At the Home Lawyer Main Menu, highlight the desired document title and press [Enter] to select it. þ Press [F3] Worksheet. A print message appears. Select Continuous if your printer has continuous forms or a paper tray. Select Manual for manual feed. þ Make sure your printer is turned on and ready to print. þ Using your arrow keys, highlight your selection. þ Press [Enter] to print the worksheet. When the worksheet has been printed, Home Lawyer will return to the Question and Answer Screen. þ Continue to answer the questions or press [Esc] to return to the Main Menu. Hint: You can print a worksheet at any time during a Question and Answer session. The worksheet will include the answers to questions you have completed. Write additional information on the worksheet and use that as a typing guide to complete document preparation.
