Notes, Services, and Policies

  • All work is given priority, but rush jobs are rarely possible due to my other commitments. Advance notice is required before work can begin.
  • The retainer and/or advance payment requirement is waived for U.S. and state government agencies. I accept work from U.S. and state government agencies on a case-by-case basis only.
  • Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) are accepted for all professional services.
  • Yes, PayPal accepted!
  • I do not charge a separate license for you to use or sell the macros, automation systems, or other code I develop for you. (Exception: I retain non-exclusive rights to use certain common programming routines previously developed.)
  • Occasionally it is necessary for me to visit your office to plan, develop, or test macros or other automation systems. In these cases, portal-to-portal travel time and travel-related expenses are extra.
  • I do not provide general training or consulting on WordPerfect or Word. Please refer to WordPerfect Universe for general word processing consultants and trainers.
  • I do not provide general word processing, desktop publishing, or file conversion services. Please refer to the link above for consultants who provide these services.
