Step 1 Edit a Phase I ESA   In this tutorial we are going to edit some of the answers to one of the examples included with the program and then merge the changes to get a new final report.
	The reports are grouped into projects. Projects typically contain associated reports. In this tutorial, we will edit the “Transfer Station” report stored in the “Examples” project that is supplied with the program. To open the “Examples” project click on the Open Project button on the Project toolbar. The Open Project form will be displayed. Select the “Examples” project and press the Open button.
	Double click on the “Transfer Station” report to open it. The form will display an index to the questions. Select the Company Information question in the "General" section by double clicking on it in the index.
	The question will then be displayed with placed for you to enter the company name and address. Enter your company name and address and then click on the report button.
	All of the remaining questions can be answered the same way.   For example, to enter the structural fill recommendations double click on the recommended compaction and moisture content question.
	The form will then display a table that where you can enter the compaction and moisture content recommendations for the various types of fill.
	Similarly the minimum dimensions for the foundation footings can be entered by double clicking on the “Specify minimum dimensions for footings?” question.
	The form will now have spaces for you to enter the minimum dimensions for square and strip footings.
	To view what will be entered into the final report click on the Report button at the top of the form.   After all of the questions have been answered the report can be saved and closed.

Step 2 Merge the Data   After the report data has been entered it can be merged with the report template to create the final report. During the merging process the keywords in the report template are replaced by the text associated with each of the answers to the questions. When the merging is complete a final report will be created in Microsoft Word format.
	To merge the report data select the “Transfer Station” report on the Project form and then click the Merge button. The Merge Document form will be displayed.  This form will let you specify the name of the merged report.
	After the Merge button is pressed, the report document will be created in Word and a message box will ask whether to open the report in Word.
	The resulting report will have the responses provided merged with the report template.
