After You Finish the Tour

When you have completed the training on the Macintosh Basics disk, you are

ready to complete your Macintosh training by reading the remaining chapters

in Part II. These chapters provide a brief review of the skills you learned

on the tour disk, and they provide you with practice using the Macintosh to

create, edit, save, organize, and print documents of your own.

Continue now by turning to the next chapter: Chapter 3, "Basic Macintosh

Skills."

CHAPTER 3

This chapter and the remaining six chapters in Part II provide practice using

your Macintosh. To get the most out of this practice, read the chapters in

This chapter reviews the information covered on the Macintosh Basics disk. If

you have completed the tour on that disk, this chapter will go quickly. If

you have not taken the tour, do so now; then return to this chapter.
