Hey Harry, I bought the program but am completely lost as I can't seem to import from my numbers document, so I figured I would just try and start entering everything manually and can't seem to figure things out. Not sure how I am so lost with this. I did a search for help with Tap Forms but the website doesn't seem to have any get started guide nor does the program. Not sure how I can be lost on this.
