Introduction

(Originally created July 2014, updated anually, moved to Pressbooks in May 2022)

Instructions for Using this Tutorial:

Please, use Chrome or Firefox to view this tutorial.  Do not use Internet Explorer.

Please, read all the instructions in the next section before following the directions.  (When you complete the first step in this section, the instructions will be obscured.)

Start by arranging the instruction window next to a new working window as follows:

    • click this link to open the library homepage in a new window or tab.
    • If the page opens in a new tab rather than a new window, pull the new tab away from this window so you have the two windows open on your screen simultaneously.

A screenshot tries to depict pulling a tab off of the open browser window

    • resize the new “working” window and this instruction window so that they can sit side by side on your computer screen.

A screenshot shows the working and instruction windows side-by-side. Arrows point to the "Contents" links and "Next" chapter link in the instruction panel.

    • Whenever you open a tab that covers the instruction panel, pull the new tab onto your working window

Important information about the tutorial layout:

  • Page separations are indicated by a line.  Just scroll past the line to see the contents of the next page.  Some headings are underlined by a similar line (as seen earlier on this page).  I hope this doesn’t prove confusing.
  • Chapter links appear at the bottom of the window (see black arrow to the link in the red footer in screenshot above).
  • Complete the steps on one page and then immediately go to the next page, or, if you are at the end of a ‘chapter’, click the link to the next chapter.
  • Don’t work ahead of the instructions.  It is easy to get lost or miss important instructions if you work ahead.
  • A contents menu is available above the text (See red arrow in screenshot above).  You can use this menu to jump between distant chapters.  The various “Contents” views toggle. Click to open the “Contents” panel or show the chapters in a section, re-click to close the contents panel or hide the individual chapters in a section
