 The cost of an Online subscription to The Quick
Answer has always been substantially less than the regular mail subscription it
now replaces. (During the past several years, most of our subscribers have opted for the Online
edition.) Beginning with the January 2002 issue, The Quick Answer
is published only in the downloadable Online edition
(Acrobat PDF format)
The Online edition gives you so many
other advantages over the old mail edition:
| • You
won't be subjected to the vagaries of postal delivery (including copies damaged in
transit). Anytime after the 5th of the month, you simply log on and download your issue. |
| • You'll
be able to quickly copy programming code and macros from any article, tip or @Help column
to the Windows Clipboard, then paste them right into your Q&A database or macro file!
No more typing that promising code from scratch! |
| • You'll
be able to search your Quick Answer issues like word processor documents to find words and
phrases and the topics in which you're most interested! (All back
issues of The Quick Answer from 1995 onward are available in Online Edition format. |
| • The
download files for most issues will contain the actual Q&A databases featured in that
issue. You'll be able to use these pre-programmed databases as they are, or tinker with
them to accommodate your special needs! |
| • As
an Online subscriber, you'll be entitled to post your name and email address, along with a
brief description of your Q&A interests or expertise (even hawk your Q&A wares) in
QuickConnect—a special area of this Web site reserved for
online subscribers only. You can take advantage of this benefit to Network with fellow
Q&A enthusiasts from around the world and get help with your Q&A problems! |
With the Online edition
you'll enjoy the same familiar Quick Answer. It's content and appearance
are exactly the same as the printed edition.
How it works
New issues of The Quick Answer are posted at this Web site by the 5th of
each month (that's two to three weeks earlier than the old regular mail subscription
was normally delivered.) We send all registered subscribers an email reminder that
the issue has been posted.
Visit the site when you receive the email reminder or
whenever it's convenient during the month. Check what's in the current issue and enter
your Subscriber ID (which we'll send you) to download it. It takes just a few minutes. You
can then read The Quick Answer at your leisure and optionally print it
out on your printer.
What you'll need
The Online edition is published in Adobe Acrobat Reader
Portable Document Format. (Back issues of The Quick
Answer from 1995 onward are available in Acrobat Reader files. All issues through
the December 2001 issue are optionally available in the printed edition)

and download it free of charge. View a representation of the Online
