Step 1 - Check to make sure your screen resolution is set at: 1024 x 768 pixels. If your screen is not set at 1024 x 768 pixels, you might not be able to view the tutorial screens entirely.

1. Left click on the "Start" button.
2. Left click on "Settings".
3. Left click on "Control Panel".
4. Double left click on "Display".
5. Left click on the "Settings" tab on the top of the box.
6. Go to "Desktop Area" and make sure your setting is at 1024 x 768 pixels.
   Note - If your monitor is preset to this setting you can cancel out and continue on with Step 2. If not, temporarily change your settings to 1024 x 768 pixels and follow the on screen directions. Your monitor's view will change but this step must be completed to view the tutorial the way it was designed.
7. Go to Step 2 if you are using your own browser (i.e. Internet Explorer or Netscape). If you are using the browser on this CD-ROM, go to Step 3.

Note - After running the tutorial you can change your computer's settings back to its default.

Step 2 - Follow Step 2 if you are using your own browser. If you are using the browser found on this CD-ROM (I-ViewPro), proceed to Step 3.

If you are using Internet Explorer, running the tutorial software requires no additional setup. Go to Step 3.

If you are using Netscape Navigator or another browser, you must manually add a Player as a Helper file. As an example, with Netscape Navigator 4.6 the procedure is:

1. Select "Edit" from the menu bar.
2. Select "Preferences".
3. Select "Navigator" from the categories box.
4. Select "Applications".
5. Select "New Type".

Fill in the following information:

1. Description of type: Lotus ScreenCam.
2. File Extension: SCM.
3. MIMI Type: Application.
4. Application to use: Click on "Browse" and find the location of the file SCPLAYER.EXE (scrncam folder) on the CD-ROM.
5. Click "Open".
6. Click "OK".

Older versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer might prompt you with a box asking for the location of the program to use. The program name is "SCPLAYER.EXE" (scrncam folder) and can be found on this CD-ROM.

Step 3 - Please choose a lesson:

• How do I access and view the PDF (portable document format) files?
  
• How do I access and use the pre-defined tables?
  
• How do I perform a basic cross-tabulation using the microdata file?
  
• How do I find out what kind of data is captured by each data item (mnemonic)?
  
• How do I calculate truck miles estimates?
  
• How do I nest mnemonics (use more than two data fields) when cross-tabulating?
  
• How can I change the ranges for numeric fields (define bands)?
  
• How can I recode the ranges for character fields (define recode)?
  
• How can I reorder the ranges (dimension) after the tabulation has been run?
  
• How do I save or export a table in another format (dBase, text, etc.)?
