Palo Alto Business Plan Pro 2007 [OLD VERSION]

BUYER BEWAREThe access code had already been used, so I was unable to use this product after spending $100 on it!

I am currently using this product to create a business plan. After using it for 2 months, suddenly it crashes whenever I touch any graph in the outline view. Tech support is mediocre at best, simply sending me longer and longer test scripts to install on my machine. I still cannot get a graph to display...BP PRO crashes every time. I would not recommend this software because I cannot keep it running!

I inserted jpg figures in my plan and then tried to export the plan to Word XP. The file was corrupt; Word could open it but could not close it; it caused Word to crash. I had to export as rtf, open the file in Word, and then save as a Word Doc. Also, when printing a business plan as a pdf, the face page, confidentiality agreement, and table of contents end up at the end of the document. The same thing happened for rtf exports. To get all the pages in the right order, you need to print from within the print preview screen.

Good product but need better, more complete business plan sample for video production.By the way, do not buy the product from Amazon if you need the product right away. They use UPS that is not reliable for fast delivery.

i have been a fan of PaloAlto since 1998! those days teh scope was different for me. Although i live in another country altogether, the plans and wealth of samples in this software are priceless! The only thing that sort of bugs me is that they stopped building newer versions for the Mac! but no matter i use Paralells Desktop and the software runs great!

This is the second or third business plan builder I have used, and it may be the best I've seen for putting together a plan in a logical, cohesive process. But it is by far the WORST piece of software I have ever used for formatting output and ending up with a polished, professional-looking finished product. This application is diseased with problems in spacing, indentation, tabs, bullets, numbering, and anything else that may be imported from Word or applied within this program. The MS Word export function flat-out CRASHED my MSWord XP Professional, and anything imported from Word ended up with a mind of its own once it hit Business Plan Pro. So here I am with a nice, tidy little business plan -- but I have to completely re-do it in Word and Excel or look like an idiot when I hand it out in presentations.As much as I appreciate this product's ability to walk one through a business plan, what good is the plan if it is irreversibly locked into an ugly, inconsistent, un-fixable format for printing?

This product could probably be good for some people. I did not find it helpful for my situation.

Non of the updates work, difficult to install
