║ A BETTER way of handling errors found by PC-Proof is by ║
║ loading your word processor and PC-Proof into a program ║

║ you switch to your word processor to make the correction.║

║ACTIVATING AND USING THE PROGRAM COMMANDS ║
║PC-Proof uses a menu system which is similar to many graphical interfaces. ║
║To activate the menus, you can use the mouse to point at menu items or you ║
║can press F10 to activate the top menu bar. You can also activate menu ║
║items by pressing the ALT key and the first letter of the menu item. For ║
║example, pressing ALT-F activates the Files menu. To select between items ║
║(such as buttons and checkboxes) in the dialog boxes, press the TAB key or ║
║point at each item with the mouse. To cancel any command, press the ESC key.║ ║
║ ║
║Ideally, you should use PC-Proof with a program manager like Microsoft ║
║Windows. This allows you to run your word processor in one window, and ║
║PC-Proof in another. To proofread a document, follow these steps. ║
║1. Save your document in your word processor. ║
║2. Start PC-Proof in another window (assuming you are using MS-Windows). ║
║3. Press F1 in PC-Proof and provide the filename of your document. ║
║4. When PC-Proof finds an error, switch to your word processor to ║
║ make the correction. ║
║5. After PC-Proof has completed proofreading, save your document in ║
║ your word processor. ║
║ ║
