• When you have two or more open applications, do you know how to switch

• Do you know how to open, close, and minimize individual windows? Can you
move them to different locations on your screen? Can you resize a window
by dragging?
• Can you scroll (vertically and horizontally) within a window to see contents that
may not be visible in the displayed area?
• Are you familiar with the menus across the top of an application and how to use
those menus?
• Have you used dialogs (special windows in the interface that display
information), such as the Print dialog? Do you know how to click arrow icons
to open a menu within a dialog?

tasks, such as typing, selecting words, backspacing, deleting, copying, pasting,
and changing text?

If there are gaps in your mastery of these skills, see the documentation for your
operating system. Or, ask a computer-savvy friend or instructor for help.
