Things to Keep in Mind

You can customize many features of Quattro Pro so that it is set up the way you like to work. That's one of the major benefits of using Quattro Pro. For consistency, though, this book makes some assumptions about how you use your computer. When working through steps and especially when viewing the figures in this book, keep in mind the following distinctions:

• Quattro Pro enables you to use many different methods to perform the same task. For example, for commands, you can select a command from a menu, use a shortcut key, use a toolbar button, or use a QuickMenu. This book usually mentions one method (the most common for that particular task) and may also include mentions of other methods.

• Your Quattro Pro screen might not look identical to the one used in this book's figures. For instance, the Perfect Expert Tutor Window appears by default each time you open Quattro Pro in Quattro Pro mode. Most of the figures in this book don't show the Perfect Expert Tutor Window. Don't let these differences distract you; the figures might look different from what you see on your computer, but the program works the same way.

• Your computer setup is most likely different from the one used in the book. Therefore, you will see different programs listed on your Start menu, different fonts in your font list, different folders and documents, and so on. Again, don't be distracted by the differences.
