|     Before you begin, take a minute |
| to study the screen. Your "canvas"  |
| covers the entire screen, including |
| the area behind the menus at the top|
| of the screen. The small white arrow|
| is the cursor. It will take on      |
| different shapes, depending on the  |
| feature you pick.                   |
|     The vertical band at the bottom |
| of he screen is the scroll bar. It  |
| lets you move the canvas up and down|
| the screen so you can use the entire|
| drawing area without obstructions.  |
| You select features in Dazzle Draw  |
| through the menus. These contain    |
| special operations for drawing,     |
| choosing shapes, patterns, and      |
| colors, for cutting, pasting and    |
| coying, and saving and retirieving  |
| your work.                          |

| You don't have to hold down the     |

|                                     |
|     Dazzle Draw feature are listed  |
| in "pull-down menus." This means    |
| that you "pull down" each menu      |
| before selecting a feature in the   |
| program. To take a look at the      |
| available features, move the cursor |
| to each menu, one at a time, and    |
| press the mouse button. Like magin, |
| a list of features appears          |
| underneath each menu. Remember to   |
| hold down the button, or the menu   |
| will disappear!                     |

| About at any point to get           |
| information about a Dazzle Draw     |
| feature in use. Make sure your      |
| Dazzle Draw disk is in the drive.   |

|     The Adjust Color feature puts   |
| color bars on the screen to help you|
| adjust your monitor. To exit, just  |

| Printer Setup                       |
|                                     |
|     This feature only applies if    |
| you're using a printer with Dazzle  |
| Draw. Dazzle Draw works on a variety|
| of popular printers. Check the label|
| on the back of the box for          |
| particulars. You must let the       |
| program know what king of printer   |
| you'll be using. Here's how:        |
|                                     |
|     1. Pull down the Crown menu and |
|        select Printer Setup.        |
|                                     |
|     2. The "dialogue box" shown     |
|        above will appear on the     |
|        screen.                      |
|                                     |
|     3. The dialogue box indicates   |
|        three things: the name of the|
|        printer, the name of the     |
|        interface card, and the slot |
|        number your interface card is|
|        in. If your printer,         |
|        interface card, or slot      |
|        number do not match these,   |
|        you must change the settings.|
|        (If you have a //c, you can  |
|        only change the printer      |
|        settings.)                   |
|                                     |
|     4. To change a setting, click   |
|        the mouse on that item. The  |
|        name will be highlighted and |
|        the bottom section of the    |
|        dialogue box will display    |
|        your choices. Click the mouse|
|        over the up-and-down arrows  |
|        to scroll through your       |
|        choices. When you see the    |
|        name you want, just click    |
|        over it.                     |
|                                     |
|     5. To change another item, click|
|        the mouse over the item you  |
|        want to change and follow the|
|        same steps.                  |
|                                     |
|     6. If you change your mind at   |
|        any time during this         |
|        procedure, just click the    |
|        mouse over Cancel and Dazzle |
|        Draw will restore the        |
|        original names.              |
|                                     |
|     7. If you don't want to make any|
|        changes, simply click the    |
|        mouse over Okay. The dialogue|
|        box will disappear.          |
|                                     |
|                                     |
|  Note - To test your printer, make  |
|         sure your printer is turn on|
|         and "selected," then click  |
|         Test in the dialogue box.   |
|         The message "Welcome to     |
|         Dazzle Draw" should print   |
|         out on your printer.        |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Quit Dazzle Draw                    |
|                                     |
|     When you're ready to stop using |
| Dazzle Draw, this feature lets you  |
| remove the program from your        |
| computer's memory without turning   |
| off the system. You can then start  |
| up another program.                 |

|                                     |
|     You've probably noticed that the|
| Undo box has no features. This is   |
| because the Undo box has a unique   |
| function. It gives you the option of|
| "undoing" the last step you took -  |
| for example, the last stroke you    |
| drew or section you cut or pasted.  |
| This option works only i you use it |
| immediately followint the acion you |
| want to take back, when the Undo box|
| is red. To undo an action, move the |
| cursor to Undo and click the mouse, |
| or type "z" which is the keyboard   |
| shortcut fo this function.          |

|                                     |
|     Windows in Dazzle Draw are the  |
| boxes that appear in the middle of  |
| the screen containing either        |
| information about the program or    |
| "tools" fo using he various         |
| features.                           |
|                                     |

| Moving Windows                      |
|                                     |
|     You can use a window from one   |
| feature (like Help About...) at the |
| same time you're working with       |
| another feature without without     |
| erasing what's on th screen. You can|
| also move the windows around the    |
| screen so you can work more easily. |
| For example, if you wat to keep the |
| Help About...window on the screen as|
| you work here's what you do:        |
|                                     |
|     1. Move the cursor into the     |
|        white title band at the top  |
|        of the window.               |
|                                     |
|     2. Press the mouse button.      |
|                                     |
|     3. "Drag" the window to a more  |
|        convenient location and      |
|        release the button.          |
|                                     |
|  Note - Several window on the screen|
|         at one time will look like a|
|         stack of cards. To bring one|
|         up from the pile, just click|
|         the mouse over an exposed   |
|         area of the window you want |
|         it will jump to the top of  |
|         the pile.                   |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Using Tool Windows                  |
|                                     |
|     When you choose certain         |
| functions of the program, tool      |
| windows appear at the bottom of the |
| screen. A tool window is really like|
| a tool box. It contains the tool    |
| you'll need to use the feature      |
| you've picked. For now, take a look |
| at the tool window for Paint Brush. |
| It contains the following features: |
|                                     |
|                                     |

|                                     |
| Shapes - Gives you a selection of   |
|          six paint brush shapes.    |

| Palette - Lets you pick one of 16   |
|           colors or 30 patterns from|

| Active Box - Tells you what color or|
|              pattern is active.     |

| Scroll Bar - Lets you expose the    |

| Exit Box - Lets you exit Paint Brush|
|            and return to the main   |
|            menus.                   |

|     By now you have probably noticed|
| that the little boxes that contain  |
| the names of the menus and features |
| change color from time to time. Each|

|                                     |
