1. What are the differences between Easy To-Do Lite and Easy To-Do Pro?
This table describes the differences:

Feature	ET Lite	ET Pro
Price	FREE	$29
Number of tasks	max 200	no limit
Number of active tasks	max 50	no limit
Print To-Do list	No	Yes
Add your own Priorities	No	Yes
Add your own Status	No	Yes
Create parent-child tasks	No	Yes
Use tamplates for recurring tasks	No	Yes

The databases used by the different versions are fully compatible with each other. This means that it is possible to, for example, start using the Lite version, and then change to the Professional version, keeping your tasks unchanged.

2. I'm a registered user, where can I find updated versions of the full program?
Read the mail you got when you ordered Easy To-Do. The same instructions apply for updates. If you cannot find this mail, let us know, and we will help you as soon as we can.

3. How can I create task hierarchies?

Press Ctrl and select the child task with the left mouse button pressed. Then drag it, while pressing the left mouse button and drop it on the parent task. You can in this way create hierarchies of tasks in two or more levels. To release a child task from its parent, just drag-and-drop it on an empty space in the tab page. Or, right-click with the mouse and select "Release from Parent".

Task hierarchies are only available in the Professional version.

4. I've got Easy To-Do 1.5, how can I upgrade?

Just install Easy To-Do 2 on your computer. The first time you start the program, it should detect your previous database and convert it automatically. Your Easy To-Do 1 installation is not removed. It is still in "C:\Program Files\Xanadu Tools\Easy To-Do" or wherever you chose to instll it. You can still run it with the old database. But the two databases for version 1 and 2 are now completely separated.

5. Cannot print, the Preview button is grayed out.

Make sure that you first select a printer on the first tab page. Then select a paper format and size on the second tab page. This should make the Preview button and other tab pages available.

6. How can I view my archived tasks?

Normally only non-archived tasks are displayed. To display only archived tasks, select "View Archived Tasks" from the View menu. When you want to go back viewing non-archived tasks, just click "View Archived Tasks" again. Also, if you restart Easy To-Do, it will always initially display non-archived tasks.

7. What are the flag fields used for?

How you use the flag fields (red, green and blue) is up to your own imagination. One common use is to set the red flag for tasks that are important right now. You can then set the green flag for tasks that you intend to complete during the current day. By using the filter function it is then easy to show only those tasks.
