FAQs

Typing Chimp Software

Do any of your products work on Mac or Linux?
Our Character Pro, QuickStory, Life Plan Writer and Parent Softworks products are for the Windows operating system only.

Do you offer a refund if I don't find your software useful?
Yes. See our Return Policy.

Where can I get upgrades for my products?
Check our Buy Online page for links to download upgrades to current versions.

Can I get your products on CD-ROM if I want?
During the ordering process for most of our products, you will be given the option of having a CD-ROM sent to you for a small fee.

Character Pro

You say there are only nine general characters, does that mean you can only develop nine characters with this software?
Absolutely not. The nine basic types are just the starting point for your characters - but everything relates back to one of the types. You can develop your character in an infinite number of ways, but having that backbone will keep the character consistent and realistic.

Can I output my character into my word processor and work on it there?
Yes. Character Pro is compatible with any Windows program (it was written with Microsoft programming software). You can cut and paste between CP and any word processing program. You can also save your character information as a Rich Text Format (.rtf) document, which can be opened in any word processing program, including those on the Macintosh--so the resulting documents are easy to distribute.

I don't understand what to do with the "My Character-Development Notes" boxes.
The "My Character-Development Notes" boxes are located on the last page of each of the sections. This box is editable by you to put your own notes or questions. These notes remain the same for every character you create in the future. You can use them to help you think of your character in new ways as you develop and write about your characters.

Can I add or subtract questions in the questions boxes?
You can't add or delete questions, however you can add your own questions to the "My Character-Development Notes" boxes at the end of each section.

QuickStory

Is there a demo version of QuickStory 5?
Currently we do not offer trial versions of any of our products. We do, however, offer online Flash demonstrations and a 60-day money-back guarantee.

I have QuickStory and I love it. What I want is global Find and Replace for the whole document.
Actually, now in version 5 when you use the Find or Find/Replace features it will search the entire document. There's even a button to "replace all" throughout a document. This makes it easy to change a character name for example.

Life Plan Writer

Can more than one person do a life plan? What's the maximum number of lifeplans you can do on the software?
Absolutely. You can create and save as many lifeplans as you like. Every time you open the program, it automatically opens the last lifeplan you had open. Use the File/Open menu to open saved lifeplans.

Parent Softworks

How many children can I add to the list of kids?
There's no limit to the number of kids you can enter into the program.

The program seems like it's mostly for babies. I have a newborn but I also have older children. What does it offer to help with the older children?
Tons. It's true that the quick reference and growth charts focus on newborns, but most of the program offers tools to help you with children of all ages. You could keep track of doctor records and health information, keep memories and pictures organized and best of all get personality-based advice on kids right up through the teen years.
