About the Author

Elaine Marmel is president of Marmel Enterprises, LLC, an organization that specializes in technical writing and software training. Elaine has an MBA from Cornell University and worked on projects to build financial management systems for New York City and Washington, D.C., and trained more than 600 employees to use these systems.

From 1994 to 2006, she was also the contributing editor for the monthly publications Inside Peachtree for Windows, Inside QuickBooks, and Inside Timeslips magazines.

Elaine left her native Chicago for the warmer climes of Arizona (by way of Cincinnati, OH; Jerusalem, Israel; Ithaca, NY; Washington, D.C., and Tampa, FL), where she basks in the sun with her PC and her dog, Jack, and cross-stitches.
