Please find below our Technical Support Policy. Before making a request for technical support, we request that you read the information contained herein, which details the services that we offer, and the related charges.

Most of the technical support inquiries we receive are unrelated to the P.I. Powertool program. They often deal with either your word processing program, your operating system, or your network configuration. These issues cannot be resolved by HiPerSoft personnel, and need to be referred to your computer/network administrator, Corel (manufacturers of WordPerfect), Microsoft (manufacturers of the Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP/Vista), Apple (manufacturers of Mac OSX and Mac Classic) or other vendor.

We are always happy to provide assistance to our customers, and we will help you upon request. However, in order to save your company time and money, we have created many useful resources that will enable you and/or your computer network administrator to resolve most problems that you will encounter. Therefore, we urge you to consider and use these resources.
