Demonstrations
When you first install Topicscape, it will offer to show demonstrations, and you can run these at any time from the Help menu. It's a good idea to re-run these from time to time during the early days of using Topicscape.
Starts in Limited mode but you can change that
When Topicscape is first installed, it also runs in Limited mode. This is a way of introducing the main features and hiding the more complex ones at first. When running the trial version you have access to all the features of the licensed version - the only restriction is the 30 day trial period. You can run in User mode to have all customization features changeable, or in Expert mode to switch them all on.
Flying with the mouse is also switched off on first installation. Again, you can switch it on.
Take a look through the Tools | Options window. The tabs there allow you to switch many features on and off, and customize Topicscape to meet your needs.
