Yes, but you'll need Parallels, a software program that allows you to operate Windows in a
separate window on your Mac computer. And you'll need a current Windows operating system.
Install Parallels first - then install Windows 7.

Does Fast Track Proposal Writer work with Fast Track Estimating?
Yes. If you use the Fast Track Estimating software, it's even easier to create a proposal.
The Fast Track Proposal Writer software will create the paragraphs in the "Work" section based
on the estimate.
The Fast Track Proposal Writer software will compare the Paragraph Number in Fast Track
Estimating (found at the bottom of the Assembly Detail) with the Paragraph Number in Fast Track
Proposal Writer. The software walks through every assembly in the estimate to see if a
Paragraph Number exists. If a Paragraph Number exists, the matching number will be found in
Fast Track Proposal Writer and that language will be placed in the Work section of the
contract. Then you can use the "Edit" function in FTPW to input quantities and specific details
for that contract.
NOTE: If you purchased Fast Track Estimating prior to February of 2011, the database you
received had some incorrect Paragraph Numbers in the assemblies. If you use any of these
estimate items, you will either pull in the wrong paragraph language in FTPW, or not pull in
any language to match the item. Click here to open a spreadsheet that
shows the paragraph numbers that need to be changed in Fast Track Estimating to match your Fast
Track Proposal Writer software.
