  and should be helpful for any new users

• The focus is the New Generation (c1) version of
  LiveText and, therefore, should provide
  assistance for Legacy (the original view of
  LiveText) users in their transition to New
  Generation. Please dont hesitate to contact

Help?, page 1
The best place for help is the LiveTxt Help
Center. There are over 70 pages of help files
that are nicely categorized for you needs and
have good screen shots to help you become a
LiveText Power User!
21
Help?, page 2
Near the bottom right edge of each LiveText
screen is a support_at_livetext.com button.
Clicking it will put you into an e-mail dialog
box in which you can communicate with the
LiveText customer support for 24-hour turn-around
answers. They are often MUCH quicker than that!
Although the Help Center and Customer Support are
much better options, you can always try to
