Introduction
QuickSteps books are recipe books for computer users. They answer the question “how do I...” by providing a quick set of steps to accomplish the most common tasks with a particular operating system or application.
The sets of steps are the central focus of the book. QuickSteps sidebars show how to quickly perform many small functions or tasks that support the primary functions. QuickFacts sidebars supply information that you need to know about a subject. Notes, Tips, and Cautions augment the steps, presented in a separate column so as to not interrupt the flow of the steps. The introductions are minimal rather than narrative, and numerous illustrations and figures, many with callouts, support the steps.
QuickSteps books are organized by function and the tasks needed to perform that function. Each function is a chapter. Each task, or “How To,” contains the steps needed for accomplishing the function along with the relevant Notes, Tips, Cautions, and screenshots. You can easily find the tasks you need through:
• The Table of Contents, which lists the functional areas (chapters) and tasks in the order they are presented
• A How To list of tasks on the opening page of each chapter
• The index, which provides an alphabetical list of the terms that are used to describe the functions and tasks
• Color-coded tabs for each chapter or functional area with an index to the tabs in the Contents at a Glance (just before the Table of Contents)
