While we have designed LeoWeb to be intuitive and easy to
use, we understand that different people possess different levels of computer skills and
familiarity. We have begun a LeoWeb Support
area to provide a forum for answering Frequently Asked Questions and providing
instructions for beginning users.
Thank you for using LeoWeb. We welcome your feedback and
input as we continue to develop and add features to the program. Please send us your comments. |
