Opening Macintosh Estimate Files

NOTE-- In 2000 we replaced MacNail with Goldenseal construction estimating software. Some people still use MacNail, so we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, scheduling and contract writing features. It stores all your company data in one file, so you don't need to worry about managing many files, as happened in MacNail.

Using the Macintosh File Finder

The Macintosh file finder pops up when you select Open or Save As from the FILE menu.

* To get out of a folder and onto the disk itself (or into an 'outer' folder), click-hold on the folder name above the list box and drag the cursor down to a new folder or disk name .

* To get into a folder that shows in the list, double-click on it (or select it and click Open).
Only folders and the documents created in the application you are currently using (in the case of MacNail: Excel documents) will show in the list.
