The files are not specific to any one company. They are easily adapted to a variety of small business owners including home party consultants, craft sellers, direct sellers, independent consultants, direct sellers, party planners, and similar small business owners. All templates can easily be customized with your company name, logo & consultant information as long as you have Microsoft Word.
We do offer a CD for $5.99 that includes a copy of all the files that you purchased. You can add the cost of the CD to your invoice. Sometimes, due to the way the item is set up for immediate delivery, the shipping field cannot be updated. In this case you can request a separate invoice for the CD in the notes field of the paypal payment form. Of course, you can always download and save the files yourself as long as you have a CD writer or floppy disc. You will probably want to be sure to save your files as you customize them anyways using this method so that you will always have a back up. We only ship to the continental United States.
You will be able to download the files up to 3 times. As long as the files are for your own personal use, you can download them on different computers. We just ask that you not share the files with friends since you do not get reselling rights with this purchase. They are for your personal use only!
If you do not have the adobe viewer required to view our pdf files, you can download it free
We don't want you to have to wait for your files. Within 15 minutes of your purchase (probably even quicker depending on your server) you will get an e-mail with the subject line "your download link from home business makeover" This e-mail includes your password and instructions to quickly and easily download and save your files to your computer.
The e-mail is sent to the e-mail account associated with your paypal account. Check the spam/junk mail folder. Be sure that sarah@homebusinessmakeover.com is added to your safe list to receive e-mails from.
This most often happens if you have a dial up connection. You will have a hard time getting the files to download (and it will take a LONG time because of the size of the files!) You should download on another computer with a faster connection, or request a CD of the files.
No problem! We can resend them. Please be sure that you include the name on your paypal account, the date of your purchase, files purchase, and the e-mail address that we should send the files to. This will allow us to send them right when I get your message instead of being delayed by replying to get the needed info to confirm your purchase.
The computer you are using does not appear to have the program required to open it. Depending on the product that you purchased you may need either adobe viewer, Microsoft word, or Microsoft Excel to view the files. The product listings clearly list what product is required, so be sure that you have the required program and have been able to use it before. A lot of times people get confused and think that Microsoft Works is the same thing as Microsoft Word. They are not the same and Microsoft Works will not work to open either the Microsoft Word or Excel spreadsheet programs.
Microsoft Excel installation needs to be completed on your computer prior to being able to use any of our programs
Depending on your computer settings & printer settings, you may need to adjust some text boxes and margins so that you can view everything correctly and completely. As long as you are viewing the file in Microsoft Word, the changes you need to make will be minimal. If it is all out of whack, it is probably because you are trying to view the files with Word for Macintosh, Word Perfect, or NotePad. Different versions of Word may not recognize certain fonts (although I tried to use fonts found in all versions.) You may need to make some changes to the font if you are not happy with how it looks. As much as possible, we try to save the files as pdf files to prevent this but in order to allow the files to be customized by you that is not possible for all of our products.
Our files are designed for Microsoft Word -- you may not be able to view all the graphics if you are using Word Perfect, NotePad, or Word for Macintosh. If you are using Microsoft Word and still can't view all the graphics, first try leaving it open for a while. The graphics can sometimes take a while to load completely, so first try letting it sit for a few minutes to be sure everything has opened. If you do not have Microsoft Word or you are uable to open them using Microsoft Word you may download a free viewer
You then would need to copy the files and paste them to a new document in order to update them. If you still have problems just e-mail sarah@homebusinessmakeover.com with the graphics you are missing (all of them, certain files, etc.)The excel spreadsheet will open up on the tax info sheet. To get to the other sheets look for the tabs towards the bottom of the page andsimply click on them to view different pages.
I've tried to make it as simple for you as possible to update contact information on all the documents. All you have to do is enter your company name, your name, title, phone number, and
web page or e-mail information in the documents and print away!!!
The easiest way to update contact info is:
1. Update each line of your contact info one at a time starting with the name.
2. Click the left button on your mouse and hold down as you drag across the name to highlight the old name.
3. Let go of mouse button and, while highlighted, begin typing over the name (you do not want to delete the old name---just type right over it while highlighted, otherwise you can mess up the
page orientation---especially on the business card template.) 4. Now go down and complete the next line-your title. You want to update one line at a time so you won't mess up page
orientation.
For most of the documents, you're done! Just click save so you don't have to do that every time! For the business card template & contact info labels where you have to change contact info
several times, you can speed up the process after updating the first block that way and then for the other 9 blocks you can just copy and paste:
1. Click the left button on your mouse and highlight the new contact information section that you just corrected.
2. Right click on the mouse and copy
3. Go to the next card that has contact info to be corrected and highlight incorrect info.
4. While still highlighted, click paste.
You can continue this on the rest to quickly finish the rest.
