This software is like an interactive, electronic, multimedia book - it is made up of pages, sections, and chapters.
At the top of this text box, you will note the current page number, and the total number of pages in this section.
Near the top of the screen, in the \BStatus bar\b, (just below the Toolbar), you will see the current chapter, section, and perhaps page name.
#
"Toolbar",2,tools.jpg,c,0
This CD is simple to operate. At the top of the screen is the \BToolbar\b. This is always there, and provides access to all functions at all times. To view the name of any toolbar button, move the mouse over that button, and the name of that button will appear below it.
The main control buttons are in the middle of the Toolbar - \IBack One Page\i takes you one page back, \INext Page\i takes you to the very next page, \IContents\i returns you to the main Contents screen, and \IGo To Page\i lets you move to any page in the current section.
#
"Text Box",3,screen1.jpg,c,0
Before we move on, take a look at the text box you are reading from - it appears in a moveable, resizable window. At any stage, you can move or resize this text box as you wish.
Once you start viewing photos, graphs, tables and maps, you can even hide, and show this text box, using the \IHide Text\i button in the \BToolbar\b (which becomes the \IShow Text\i button when this text box is hidden).
This text box will also display a scroll bar down its right hand side if there is more text to be displayed.
#
"Contents Screen",4,contents.jpg,c,0
This illustration of the \IContents\i screen you can now see here is the screen that will appear whenever you select the \IContents\i button from the \BToolbar.\b
You do not have to have completed a section before you select the \IContents\i button. You can do it at any time.
#
"Selecting a Chapter",5,select.jpg,c,0
To move into any section, click once on your selection. If the chapter you select to view has several sections within it a submenu is displayed. You select the section from within this list of sections.
Once you select a chapter, or a section from a submenu that may appear, you are taken directly to the first page in that section or chapter.
Sections you have already viewed in this current session are ticked.
#
"The Page",6,screen01.jpg,c,0
Here you see a representation of the average page - the text box appears on the right-hand side, and an element - in this case a picture, appears on the left-hand side.
There are a variety of ways you can move around from here - either using the toolbar buttons at the top of the screen, or by clicking on any of the range of buttons or options within the text box, or on the picture.
#
"On-line Help",7,help.jpg,c,0
Note that the \BHelp\b menu provides access to on-line help at all times.
Almost every dialog box contains a \BHelp\b button for context sensitive on-line help.
#
"Pictures",8,picmenu.jpg,c,0
Every picture, regardless of what it is, has a range of standard features.
To see these, move the mouse over the picture, and click the right mouse button once. A submenu will appear providing a range of options - from copying this picture to the clipboard, viewing it full screen - all the way through to creating a jigsaw puzzle out of this picture.
On many pictures, you'll see a magnifying glass in the bottom left-hand corner. By default, any picture will be resized so that it appears fully to the left of this text box. Clicking on the magnifying glass will alternately turn this feature on, or off. If you can see this magnifying glass now, give it a try!
#
"Graphs",9,chart033.cht,c,0
On many pages, you'll see a graph. You can search for any of these graphs using the options in the \ISearch\i dialog box.
A graph is essentially a picture, but it has one more important feature - its information can be edited. Near the bottom left-hand corner of the graph, you'll see a small icon. If you click on this icon, you'll be presented with a dialog box that will allow you to edit the information displayed in the graph. For example, you may wish to edit this graph so that it displays only the \IGold\i and \ISilver\i medal results for \IAustralia\i and \INew Zealand.\i
#
"Tables",10,spread400.spr,c,0
On many other pages you may find tables of information. This is a convenient method of displaying large amounts of tabular data.
To view all the information in a table (which will always appear at full screen size), you may need to hide, or minimize this text box. A scroll bar down the right-hand side of the table allows you to view extra data from the table.
You can search for, and within tables, using options in the \ISearch\i dialog box.
#
"Videos",11,0,c,startupi.avi
On some pages, you'll get a video instead of a picture. Along the bottom of the video window are controls that allow you to play, pause, or resize the video.
P.S. You can search for all videos in the current CD by clicking on the \ISearch\i button in the Toolbar, and on the \IVideo\i button in the \ISearch\i dialog box.
#
"This Text Box",12,textbox.jpg,c,0
This text box, as you know, can be moved around and resized as you wish.
If you click the right mouse button when the mouse is over the text box, a submenu will appear with a range of options, ranging from altering text size and colour, copying to the Clipboard, and more.
Every now and then you will see an \Punderlined\p word. This denotes that you can click on this word to get a more detailed explanation of that word (try it now)!
At the bottom of some text boxes, you will see a panel reading \IClick here for Related Topics.\i Click on this panel to see a list of pages that relate to the current page. Select one of these pages and you will move to that page.
#
"Settings Dialog Box",13,settings.jpg,c,0
You can select the \ISettings\i button from the Toolbar to set some basic user options, including the size, font and colour of the text you are reading right now.
#
"Search Dialog Box",14,search.jpg,c,0
You can select the \ISearch\i button from the Toolbar to search for a specific topic, video, person, word - whatever.
Click on the option you require from this dialog box, and a list of pages matching your requirement will appear in the page list.
#
"Print Dialog Box",15,print.jpg,c,0
You can select the \IPrint\i button from the Toolbar to print a single page, a whole section, or a range of pages.
#
"Adding Notes",16,notes.jpg,c,0
You can select the \IAdd Note\i button from the Toolbar to add your own notes to any page. These notes are saved automatically to your local hard disk.
The \INote\i window appears at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, and you can click in this window and enter your notes. When you return to a page you have added notes to, this window, and your note, will reappear.
#
"Bookmarks",17,bookm.jpg,c,0
Would you like to mark a page so that it is easy to find later? Use the \ICreate Bookmark\i command, from the \BPage Options\b menu.
The dialog box illustrated here will then appear. In here, enter the name that you would like to save this page under, and click on \IOK.\i At any later stage, you can move directly to this page by selecting the \IGo To Bookmark\i command from the \BPage Options\b menu.
#
"Going to a Specific Page",18,gotopage.jpg,c,0
To move directly to another page in the current section, select the \IGo To Page\i button from the Toolbar.
Choosing this command displays the \IGo To Page\i dialog box shown here. This lists all the pages in the current section. Click on the page you wish to view and then click on the \IGo To Selection\i button. Alternatively, key the page number into the \IRequired Page #\i text box and then click on the \IGo To Selection\i button.
#
"Page History",19,hist.jpg,c,0
Sometimes you may wish to go back to a page that you have viewed before but cannot quite remember where it is. The page history feature facilitates this type of search. Initially, the last ten pages you viewed appear at the bottom of the \BPage Options\b menu. However, choosing the \IHistory\i command from the \BPage Options\b menu displays the \IHistory\i dialog box which lists, in sequential order, all the pages you have viewed in your current session. Select the page of interest and click on the \IGo To Selection\i button.
If you have been jumping around the CD, a \IGo Back\i button will appear in this text box title bar. Click on this button to move to the page you most recently jumped from.
#
"Clipboard",20,copytext.jpg,c,0
You will note that there are several commands in the \BEdit\b menu that allow you to copy the current picture, text, or user note to the Windows Clipboard, so that it can be compiled in other applications.
Depending on what command you select from the \BEdit\b menu, and what currently appears on the screen, you may be presented with a slightly different dialog box.
#
"Highlighting Text",21,hilight.jpg,c,0
You may wish to try a rather unique command found in the \BEdit\b menu, called \IHighlighter Pen.\i This command allows you to highlight text in almost exactly the same way as you would highlight text in a normal book with a standard highlighter pen.
Highlights you create in the text will remain until you remove them, and can be searched for, or used to denote what text on any particular page will be printed.
#
"Running a Slide Show",22,doco.jpg,c,0
Want to run the pages as a slide show (have the pages turned automatically for you)? To do this, move to the page you would like to start the slide show from, and select the \IRun in Documentary Mode\i command from the \BInteraction\b menu.
This will display each page for ten seconds, or, if there is a sound, movie, or animation, until that sound, movie or animation has completed playing. To stop the slide show, press the \IEsc\i key.
#
"Projects",23,project.jpg,c,0
Using the \ICreate Project\i button on the toolbar you can create a 'project' of your favourite, or required pages, and save the list of these pages as a file using the \IProjects\i roll-up shown here.
This is a great way to create projects, collate and annotate your information. You can collect a whole range of pages, including sounds, movies, pictures, graphs and charts, add your own text, name your own pages, and create your very own on-screen, or printed, presentation.
#
"Interaction Menu",24,interact.jpg,c,0
The \BInteraction\b menu has many selections.
The \IHeinemann Australian Dictionary\i command opens the Heinemanns dictionary and lets you search for any word. \IOn This Day in Australian History\i lets you choose a particular month and day and lists everything that happened on that day, in our \ITimeline,\i since 1788. The various family tree commands list the family trees for all Australian birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians.

"Presentations and Homework",1,carrtut.jpg,c,0
In this CD-ROM you'll find a whole range of features to help you create your presentations, projects, or just to collate information in a way you would like to see it.
There are several ways you can go about using this program as a study or learning guide. The following topics provide some of this information.
\B\JStudy Hints for Students\j\b
\B\JCreating a Project\j\b
\B\JHints for Teachers\j\b
\B\JCopyright Information and Obligations\j\b
#
"Study Hints for Students",2,"0","g","0"
There are three main ways you may wish to use this CD-ROM as a study aid. These include:
* \ICollate the text and graphical information in this CD-ROM in an external program, such as Microsoft Word.\i This is a very versatile approach, allowing you to format work as you wish. See the section on \B\JExternal Program Support\j\b.
* \IUse the features to collate, annotate, and/or print information.\i The interactive features of this CD-ROM give you much flexibility in this regard. See the section on \B\JCustomising Information\j\b.
* \ICreate a Project.\i Creating a project using the tools in this CD-ROM is a fantastic way to create an interactive multimedia project, as well as providing a means to create printed handouts, or a complete printed project. For more information on creating projects, see the section on \B\JCreating a Project\j\b.
#
"External Program Support",3,openapp.jpg,c,0
To start any one of a popular range of word processing or page layout programs, use the \IOpen Application\i command in the \BEdit\b menu. This command lists the popular programs located on your computer, and provides a means by which they can be started.
#
"The Edit Menu",4,editmenu.jpg,c,0
The \BEdit\b menu contains a range of commands that allow you to copy information from this program to the Windows clipboard. These are the \ICopy\i commands found at the bottom of the \BEdit\b menu.
These allow you to copy text, pictures, frames from movies, and your own user notes to the clipboard.
Once in the Windows clipboard, you can move to another program and select the \IPaste\i command from within that program.
#
"Customising Information",5,"0","g","0"
When studying, or putting together homework, or just collating a database, the effort you put in and the creativity you show are often vital in making sure you get a good mark. Hence, we have included a range of features that allow you to actually create a project, rather than just print references.
In the next few pages, we'll have a look at some of these methods.
#
"The Highlighter Pen",6,hilight.jpg,c,0
Another command found in the \BEdit\b menu is the Highlighter Pen. As you would highlight text in a normal book, so you can with this CD.
When you select this command, the dialog box pictured here appears. On the left, the text of the current page appears. You can select any part of this text using the mouse, select a \IHighlight Colour\i from the \IHighlight Options,\i and then select the \IHighlight Text\i button.
The \IPreview\i section will show you what the current page will look like. Whenever you return to this page, the text will be highlighted in this fashion - up to five different highlights, in five different colours, per page.
There are several other advantages to highlighting text - you can search for your highlights using the \ISearch\i dialog box, and you can print your highlights in a variety of ways, using the \IPrint\i dialog box.
#
"Adding Your Own Notes",7,notes.jpg,c,0
On the toolbar is a button (fourth button from the left) called \BAdd Note.\b Select this button to add your own notes to any page.
A small yellow window appears at the bottom left of the screen where you can add your notes. These notes are saved automatically, and are tied to this page. Whenever you return to this page, the note will reappear. To remove a note, remove all text from the note window before changing pages.
All notes are saved to your local Windows directory, unless you are \B\JCreating a Project\j\b, in which case the notes are saved to the current project file.
These notes can be copied to clipboard using the \BEdit\b menu, searched for using the \ISearch\i dialog box, and printed using the \IPrint\i dialog box.
#
"Printing",8,print.jpg,c,0
The \BPrint\b button on the toolbar (third button along) provides access to the \IPrint\i dialog box pictured here.
As you can see, there are a range of print options. Most deal with how the printed page will appear (\IPrint Only Pictures\i, \IPrint Pictures Small\i, etc.). However, there are a number of options that you can employ to create your own custom printouts.
First, the \IHighlights\i options. Using the \IPrint Only Highlighted Text\i option, you determine what text from the selected pages is printed - all of it, or just the text you highlighted. You also get to determine whether the text highlighted is printed in colour, or underlined, or not marked at all.
In the main \IOptions\i section, you can determine whether or not user notes are printed. If, for example, you select the \IPrint Only Pictures\i option, and also the \IInclude User Notes\i option, the pictures, and your notes will print, making it appear like your very own creation. Alternatively, the \IInclude User Notes\i may be used to elaborate on what is being printed. With a bit of creative use of the options within this dialog box, you are truly in control.
#
"Creating a Project",9,project1.jpg,c,0
Creating a project is a means by which you can select a variety of pages from this CD-ROM, sort these in your own project list, add your own notes, save the whole project to a file, and use this project to display an on-screen presentation of your own work, or create a printed copy.
Select the \BProjects\b button from the toolbar to display the \IProjects\i dialog box. In the next few screens, we will explain each part of this dialog box, and how to create your very own project.
#
"Project Details",10,project.jpg,c,0
At the top of the \IProjects\i dialog box, you can enter the project title, your name, and a brief summary of the project.
This information is used by both the printed and on-screen presentation.
#
"Saving a Project - (1)",11,message.jpg,c,0
The first time you add a page to a new project, you will be asked to name this project on disk. This allows the program to know what file name to save project information and user notes to.
To continue on, you would click on \IYes.\i
#
"Saving a Project - (2)",12,save01.jpg,c,0
You are then given the opportunity to save this project anywhere you wish. As the project will not take up much room (only text information needs to be saved, regardless of the pictures, movies and audio you use in your project), you can save the project anywhere - even on floppy disk if you would like to take the on-screen multimedia project to school, or to another machine!
Here we have given the project a name, and selected a directory to store the project. We would then click on \IOK.\i
#
"Adding Pages",13,naming.jpg,c,0
As you add a page, you are given the opportunity to give this page an alternate name. This allows you to name this page with a heading perhaps more appropriate to your project.
In this fashion, you can select to add the page \BSheep Numbers in Victoria\b to your project because you like the picture on that page, but a more relevant heading in your project may be \BSheep and Cattle Markets\b.
If you are unsure what to call this page, don't worry - click on \IOK\i to use the current name. The alternate heading for each page can be edited at any time.
#
"Removing Pages",14,project.jpg,c,0
You are now free to move to any other page and add it to the project. The \BRemove Page\b button can be used to remove any selected page from the project, and the small arrow buttons just to the right of the \IPages in Project\i list can be used to alter the order in which the pages appear.
To edit the alternate name of any page in your project, select that page from the \IPages in Project\i list, and enter a new name in the \IPage Heading\i text box.
#
"Project Options",15,projopt.jpg,c,0
Along the bottom of the dialog box are the buttons that control the open project.
The \BNew\b button allows you to create a new project, clearing the current project away. You will be asked to name this project straight away.
The \BOpen\b button lets you open an existing project from disk. This allows you to move a project from machine to machine, or open a project you may have been working on yesterday.
The \BSave\b button saves all changes to the current project to that project file.
The \BSave As\b button allows you to create a copy of the currently open project.
The \BPrint\b button allows you to print the pages in the current project.
The \BRun\b button is discussed on the next page - it allows you to run the open project as an on-screen multimedia display.
The options just to the right of these buttons determine what sort of text is displayed as the project is printed, or run on screen. If \BDisplay CD Text\b is selected, then the text supplied with the CD will display as each page is displayed.
If you select the \BDisplay User Notes\b option, then the notes you have added to each page using the \BAdd Note\b button in the toolbar will display as each page is printed or displayed on screen.
If both options are selected, then a combination of the original text and your additions are displayed. If neither option is selected, then no text will display as each page is changed, only pictures or video. This can be a useful setting if you have created a printed handout with the text, and just wish to display the pictures for an on-screen display.
#
"Running Your Project",16,project3.jpg,c,0
When you select the \BRun\b button from the \IProjects\i dialog box, the first screen you'll see is this one - including the project name, your name, and the project summary.
From here, you can go one page forwards at a time by clicking anywhere. When you press the \IEsc\i key, or when the project is completed, you are returned to where you began.
The on-screen project will run from the page currently selected in the \IProjects\i dialog box. This allows you to start from halfway through a presentation should you need to.
#
"Hints for Teachers",17,"0","g","0"
Computer technology has advanced rapidly over the past decade and will continue to do so at an even faster rate as we approach the twenty-first century.
Computer technology has become a major influence in all of our lives; at home, at work, through the media, even at the local shopping centre, but the greatest influence of all is in the field of education.
Students at both a primary and secondary level can now access information from all over the world, and can bring to life the past, the present and the future at a click of a button.
Webster Publishing recognises the need for Australian-based educational titles that expose students to a wide variety of topics and encourage indepth investigation.
#
"Hints for Teachers - (2)",18,"0","g","0"
There are many ways that you can use Webster Publishing CD-ROM titles in the classroom as a basis for discussion, critical thinking, investigation, and communication.
* Try posing questions that the students can find the answer to in the CD-ROM. This helps develop investigation and research skills, not to mention computer skills.
* Try creating your own project (see \JCreating a Project\j), and run it as an on-screen multimedia presentation, or create your own handouts.
* Try playing some of the games in the CD-ROM as a group.
* Why not pick a random topic, and use it as a basis for discussion?
* Use the CD-ROM to create visual aids, or overheads.
There are many features of this CD-ROM you should investigate that will help you in this regard. These include:
\JCreating a Project\j
\JPictures\j
\JVideos\j
\JHighlighting Text\j
\JAdding Notes\j
\JExternal Program Support\j
As you'll see, this CD-ROM is not a static piece of information. You can mould it, modify it, and customise it in any way you see fit.
