Hi Annette
the main problem we found with any software was repeated
unintentional(?) deletion of important files, which meant loads of
time spent rebuilding the machines, so we have agreed to purchase a
server which will refresh each of our specialist workstations with
all necessary files each time someone logs in.
We are using Word + TextHelp! + Inspirations for the dyslexics.
Contact me if you want more information.
Regards, Deb
