I was disappointed to read that you'd decided to return it. I have both EQ6 and EQ7 and love it! I did not find it difficult to use AT ALL. The program itself contains tutorials, plus there are free tutorials here on the QB and online classes you can take. I didn't do any of those, just played with the program and taught myself. It was fun! There is an index, plus EQ has online forums with support and help sections.
