bullet Use the Skills and Tutorials contents below to find keywords from the questions to look up for your answers.

 
bullet You can use the "Edit>Find (on This Page)...  Ctrl+F" feature

 

in your web browser to help you find keyword links on this Table  of Contents page that will then take you to particular tutorials for your answer.

This will work on any Internet Explorer (IE) browser page to look for a word or phrase!  (Most other browsers have something similar)

 
bullet

Occasionally, there may be a hint attached.  It may be a hyperlink that looks like this.
bullet

Hint: Right-Click a link and then click "Open in New Window" (as in this image )
It will help you keep your answers' page safe from disappearing on you!
bullet Use the Office Assistant (Help) to help find many answers.
It's an extensive feature you need to get used to using,
 because you will never know it all, your teacher will not always be there to answer a question, and you may be the most expert user in a room at any time!

 

bullet Work through the examples and exercises in the tutorials.
They will give you the experience you need.  If computers
aren't "hands-on" what is?
