All of the tips and tutorials are Word documents and provide easy-to-follow written instructions as well as illustrative "screen shots" (pictures of a computer screen showing the appropriate keying sequence for each step). Each document opens in a new window, for your convenience. Due to the number of screen shots, the Word document for each tutorial may take several long seconds to open.

You may print the tutorials for your personal use. However, this page and the Word-document tutorials may not be used for "free content" in newsletters, websites, etc.
