The features of this book

This guide is designed with features that make finding and using the

information you need quick and easy.

Tabs

If you look at the outside margin for each page you will see a tab marking

the section of the book you are looking at. These tabs (listed on the book's

cover) are visible along the edge of the book even when the book is closed.

To find a section of the book quickly, look at the cover to find the tab you

need, then flip to that tab.

Tables of contents for each part

Part II, "Learning," and Part III, "Reference," begin with a quick list of

the chapters they contain. You can use this list to help you locate chapters

within one of those parts of the book. If you need to see a complete list of

the chapters and subsections in this guide, turn to the table of contents at

the front of the book.

Chapter reviews

At the end of each chapter, you will find a review of the skills taught in

the chapter. You can use the list to review skills or to find out pages where

skills were taught in the chapter.

Numbered steps

Throughout this book, numbered steps printed in bold tell you what action you

should take. Do the steps in order. Skipping steps or doing them out of

sequence will almost always cause you trouble.

Some numbered steps are followed by a paragraph or two explaining what the

step does or how to do the steps. If you don't understand a numbered step or

you aren't sure whether you should do it, read the text that follows the step

for more information.

1. This is an example of a numbered step. Now continue reading.

This is where you would look for an explanation of the numbered step. Notice

that this explanatory text is lined up under the numbered step.

Basics Quick Reference

Chapter 9, "Basics Quick Reference," is a review of the skills taught in the

chapters in Part II. This review is designed to make it easy to go back and

look up how to do something taught in the earlier chapters. If you find that

you need a reminder about how to do something taught in Part II, instead of

flipping through all the pages turn to Chapter 9.
