Create live forms, spreadsheets and databases within integrated "Smart Documents". This is what integrated packages should of been doing all along! Create forms by just inserting fields with formulas for automatic calculations right on your page. Store the fields contents and automatically create a database (Dbase compatible). Build spreadsheets that are not restricted to a two dimensional grid. Over 70 functions are available for automatic spreadsheet, text and database operations. Use Surefire's powerful searching capabilities on your databases and generate reports by projecting data from many records right into your document. Use Surefire's buttons to bring you to a page, get another document, do a calculation, or join to another database. Any of Surefire's functions can be put into a button to be executed. Now you are building complete Smart Document applications! Use the Contact Manager to track clients and prospects, keep track of meetings and follow-up activities. Do your expense reports and produce reports about your activities and contacts at the touch of a button. Generating form letters and mail labels right from your contact database couldn't be simpler! Since this Contact Manager is a Surefire application you can customize and enhance Surefire Contacts specifically for you or your company. Maybe you want to keep financial data about your clients. Or, you would like to automatically generate quotes and proposals. With the full power of Surefire, you can go beyond contact management when you need to.
