Use Simulator Pre for Pocket Informant 2005R3

User's Guide of the 21st Century

Use Simulators materialize the advantages of hypertext and provide features, unparalleled in older user guides:

* Extensive use of visuals. Interactive animations or pictures are at the core of each explanation.
* Minimal use of text. As a result, explanations need very few words.
* Ready access to information you need. No more than three clicks to reach any answer.

Learning to Use Pocket Informant

Use Simulator Pre presents Pocket Informant from two perspectives.

* First, it lets you explore the screen and instantly find answers to the question, What is this? For example, you may wonder, what is the function of a button or a menu item. Use Simulator will answer it by a comment that appears when you move the mouse over the unknown element. It is the "ask-by-pointing" method.
* Second, Use Simulator answers the question, How do I ...? Commented animations and illustrated step-by-step instructions explain how to use the software. Just observe and do it.

Getting Quick Answers

Use Simulator is an excellent reference tool. Finding quick answers is very intuitive. The answer is always in the same place of the same software interface where your question was. E.g., if you need to understand a menu item, you can go to the same menu item in Use Simulator, and there will be the answer. Can it be any easier?

There is a lot more to Use Simulators than what was covered above. Among other things, it is a "hypertext thinking" exerciser. Once you have tried it, you will see how natural it is for our mind to get knowledge from hypertext.
