You can read the entire manual online in a set of web pages. Within that, you
can access the page that shows the changes in the most recent versions of DONATION,
Revision History - Latest Version.
Or, you can download a PDF version of the manual, which is good for printing (about 800K / 175 pages). If you don't have the Adobe Reader for reading PDF files (most people already do have it on their computers!) you can download it from get.adobe.com/reader.
Note: The Help file provided with the program and accessible from its Help menu options has exactly the same contents as the PDF manual.
To go with the main documentation, on the
Demos & Samples page there are
several introductory demo videos about DONATION, and also
several training videos about some of the slightly more complicated
areas in DONATION, such as mail merge letters and receipts.
A web-based training for DONATION is also available here online. It was created, for free, by Vanessa Agosta, Greg Brawn, Marc LaPierre, and Robert Rodenhiser of the company Ink Well Documentation. Many thanks to them for the excellent job they did on it.
The web-based training contains a large proportion of the contents of the help file and manual for the program. However, it also includes screen shots of many screens to make it easier to use, plus it is somewhat better written than the official manual. It also includes exercises and review questions to help you test your knowledge, if you wish.
Unfortunately, it is based on an earlier version of the program,
and has not been updated for some time. While very little in it
will be wrong, it does not touch on some of the newer features
of DONATION.
