Is there a downloadable manual? The link under Help on the Mac goes nowhere!

No, unfortunately there is not presently. There was a bunch of FAQ’s but it seems those are gone as they are in process of a site redesign.

There are 2 books available for RW5 though, one by 1 Little Designer and the other Joe Workman. Most things apply, just in different locations in the program in v6.

RealMac has also said that there will be a manual for version 7. No help now, I know.

Joe’s book is said to be good but I _think_ it’s RW5 only.

Hi Steve,

Apologies for this, we are working on a completely new manual that will be available with RapidWeaver 7 though (I know that doesn’t help you right now).

We do have a free [Getting Started video series](http://rapidweavercommunity.com/rapidweaver/tutorials/series/getting-started) on the RapidWeaver Community, that covers everything to get you up and running.

We also have our free [weekly RapidWeaver podcast](http://rapidweavercommunity.com/podcasts) that covers a lot of common issues/questions.

You can always ask us a question here as well.

Hi Ben - actually this is pretty funny, since I never had a manual for my desktop-based taxi management software - so I can hardly complain now, can I?

Videos are fine, but due to their nature, not easy to find a specific ‘how to’.

Anyway, looking forward to v7.

Cheers and thanks

Ola Ben,

just to make you aware of something which might be called a bug:  
The Menu item Help / RapidWeaver Manual  
directs people to  
[http://help.realmacsoftware.com/hc/en-us/categories/200020651-RapidWeaver](http://help.realmacsoftware.com/hc/en-us/categories/200020651-RapidWeaver)  
which displays nothing - or call it an error message - or call it a broken link

I would have needed to look up some strange behaviour with offsite pages …  
I’ll post that separately …

Could you guys “fix this” - for me it looks like an outright bug 🙂 … Sorry to mention

The PDF Manual, a new Knowledge base and new videos will be going live on Tuesday next week.

Thanks for holding on and sorry for the delay.
