Getting Started with Windows 3.1 
A Guide for First-Time Computer Users

These days, consumers shopping for their first personal computer find a
wide variety of machines already loaded with the Microsoft Windows
operating system. So Microsoft Press--the book division of Microsoft
Corporation--has published an enjoyable guide for first-time users called
GETTING STARTED WITH WINDOWS 3.1.

Using an approach that's careful but light-hearted, author Russell Borland
explains what computing with Microsoft Windows is all about. The book
begins with hands-on, fast-paced lessons that use the Minesweeper game and
Paintbrush drawing application. These lessons are fun, and guaranteed to
take the frustration out of learning. And like all books in the Getting
Started Right series from Microsoft Press, this easy-to-read tutorial is
packed with clear, step-by-step instructions, screen illustrations and
practical tips. Readers will discover how to:

. Install Microsoft Windows software
. Use a mouse
. Navigate through the Windows program with ease
. Use the online Help feature
. Customize the computer screen with colors and patterns
. Use Write--the built-in word processor--to create, edit,
  and format letters and reports
. Use the Paintbrush drawing application to create colorful
  drawings and artwork
. Set up a printer
. Create shortcuts for everyday tasks with the timesaving
  Recorder application

Each topic is organized for easy access. A comprehensive index leads
readers quickly to information on any topic in the book. GETTING STARTED
WITH WINDOWS 3.1 is the ideal tutorial for beginning Microsoft Windows
users.
