Microsoft Windows 3.1 Step by Step
The Official Microsoft Courseware

Software learning just got easier with MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.1 STEP BY STEP
-- The all-in-one book-and-software learning system modeled after the
award-winning Microsoft Excel Step by Step.

This timesaving, cost-effective, professional training package from
Microsoft Press and Catapult, Inc. is ideal for classroom use or as a
convenient, self-paced learning tool. The book's modular approach is
especially valuable for readers already familiar with previous versions of
the software. They can turn directly to the information they need in
lessons that explore the new features in Microsoft Windows operating
system version 3.1. Newcomers to the Microsoft Windows operating system
are encouraged to start right at the beginning.

MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.1 STEP BY STEP contains 14 lessons, each of which takes
30-45 minutes to complete. Each lesson is generously illustrated with
real-world examples and fully integrated with the practice files on disk.
For example, in Lesson 1, readers learn to use the mouse and on-screen
pointer to control window elements, open a window from an icon, move and
resize a window, scroll window contents, and manage multiple windows in
the display area. They can compare their results and track their progress
for each lesson with the confidence-building practice files on the
accompanying disk.

And that's only the beginning. Readers will learn a long list of other
skills such as:

* Working with the Paintbrush and Write accessories to cut 
  and paste graphics into word processing documents
* Using the Program Manager to customize the organization of
  groups and icons to fit individual work needs
* Using the MS-DOS operating system-based applications with 
  the Windows system
* Customizing the Windows environment by changing screen colors
  and backgrounds
* Using special characters and a variety of fonts--including the
  new scalable TrueType2 fonts
* Setting up and configuring printers
* Using the File Manager to organize and manage files and
  directories

Each lesson includes clear objectives, step-by-step instructions, helpful
screenshots, summaries, and exercises called "One Step Further."
Appendixes cover installing version 3.1 and using Object Linking and
Embedding (OLE). A glossary makes looking up terms easy, and the
comprehensive index helps students and instructors quickly find
information on any topic in the book.

Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 is required. The book
includes ordering information for a 1.2-MB 5.25-inch disk. (A 720-KB
3.5-inch disk is supplied.)
