1. Your contact information and order number, if you have one.
2. The name of the SoftArtisans product (e.g., ExcelWriter, WordWriter, FileUpEE)
3. The exact version number of our product. This should be the complete build number for the dlls (or jar files for OfficeWriter Java) rather than the installer package version number.
4. Are you using a full or evaluation version?
5. The exact version of the operating system and browser on client machine(s), including service packs.

10. The exact error message which is received. Screen shots can be helpful.
11. A description of the exact nature of the problem, including exact steps to reproduce the problem.
12. Are you running our samples or your own code? If our samples, which ones?
13. If the problem only occurs in your own application (which may be complex and have dependencies) please attempt to send us a simple test application with the minimum amount of code necessary to reproduce the problem. The easier it is for us to reproduce the problem, the sooner we can get it resolved.
