Vonda's Version of Help

It is extremely frustrating for people, like me, who are not intuitive when it comes to learning new software. Too many times "computer" people give instructions in a manner that screams "any idiot who can turn on a computer can follow these instructions." However, as a very electronically challenged older individual, it is difficult to follow the instructions because it is impossible to find the icon the instructions are talking about . . . and other such simplistic things that my six year old nephew seems to understand without pause.

Therefore, Vonda's Version of Help will be incredibly simplistic step-by-step instructions with lots of screen prints to help users find the icons, menus, buttons, etc. that are necessary to work a program.

Note: That means that this is not the site for you extremely computer literate users. In fact, intuitive users will probably roll their eyes at these instructions and help screens. (But then, they probably don't have a mother or uncle who cannot even "copy" and "paste" on their computers. Yes, people, there are people out there who didn't grow up using a computer . . . so using the software is Greek to them!)
