Answer to:
Do I really need to use
printed copies?
Especially in this "computer age" people have become
accustomed to composing directly with word processors. While this is perfectly
appropriate for many types of work, we have found that the creation of an
effective business plan is one of those areas where using pen & paper makes
a dramatic difference.
Naturally, some people prefer to work more with
computerized document files directly, if you are in that group then the system
will still work for you. The only adjustments you need make, are that you keep
a very careful track of the document files, since they would not be the same as
reliable paper versioning.

Answer to:
Other plan generators are automated - why isn't this
one?
When we looked at automating the process of creating a business
plan we quickly realized one simple thing: computers can't do the core work.
Perhaps one day, when Artificial Intelligence is a reality, but in the meantime
it's remains up to you to create the content.

Answer
to:
Will the Maze Business Plan System work with wordprocessors other than
MS Word or WordPerfect?
In order to utilize the Maze Business Plan
System you should be using either MicroSoft Word or WordPerfect as your
wordprocesor. However, if you are using another wordprocessor it MUST be able
to read AND maintain all formatting for the MS Word wordprocessor, most do.
Using a wordprocessor is required in order to develop the extensive Table of
Contents which is a rquirement for any respectable Business Plan. DO not
purchase our system if you do not use a wordprocessor that works only with a
plain text file, it will not work.
