Welcome to the 5-minute PowerResearcher, step-by-step, Quick and Easy Tutorial. You may prefer to print this tutorial for easy reference.
Do you know how to use Microsoft Explorer/File Manager? How about Word and Excel and Internet Explorer to surf the Internet? Then you already know most of PowerResearcher! PowerResearcher combines all of these separate programs in one single, easy-to-use program.
Just follow these easy steps to create your first project, capture a web page and use text from that site in your Word document.
Getting Started
	1. Launch PowerResearcher. Then Click on the Organize tab:
	2. You will see three window panes:
	The top left is your Project Tree/File Manager, just like Explorer.
	The top right is your Content Pane and Work Area, where your Word, Excel, Attachments and other useful information will appear.
	The bottom pane is your Browser Pane where you surf the Net or your saved websites will appear. Saved websites are indicated by the “Saved” flag in the top right hand corner of the Browser Pane.
	3. Now type the URL “www.msmoney.com” in the address bar of the Browser Pane and press Enter.
	4. The website www.msmoney.com will appear in your Browser Pane.
	5. To capture and save the web page, simply drag the Internet Explorer icon from the Project Pane Toolbar down and position it anywhere you want i n the Project Tree.
	6. The Content Pane will now show the captured page, while the Browser Pane at the bottom still shows the live page (They look the same, but the one is a live website while the other is saved web content that remains on your computer).*
	Note: If you are using PowerResearcher ASP, the captured page resides in your storage area on our servers.
	Helpful hint: Merely dragging the saved website Icons from the Project Tree into the Browser Pane will display the live web pages in the Browser Pane instantly.
Creating a Word* or Excel Document
	If Microsoft Office is not installed on your computer, PowerResearcher automatically uses a generic RTF editor which is a powerful word processing tool in its own right.
	1. To create a Word document, simply drag the Word icon from the Project Pane Toolbar and position it anywhere you want in the Project Tree. Wait for Word to load and Voilá! Opening a Word document has never been easier.
	2. Follow the same procedure to create an Excel spreadsheet or an RTF (Rich Text Format) document, but using the appropriate icon.
	3. Now place the cursor in your Word document where you want to insert content from the MSMoney website.
	Highlight some text in the browser pane and press the right mouse button to bring up the pop-up menu. On the menu, click on “Paste into Page”.
	The text you selected is pasted into your Word document. If you had chosen a picture, you would use “Paste image into page” instead.
	6. Your visit to the www.msmoney website has been recorded in the Research Log. Click on the Log tab
	7. You can now see a history of the actions you have performed
	.
	Congratulations! You have just mastered the basics of using PowerResearcher.
