The steps to this tutorial are numbered from 1 thru 22. Beneath each step, is text in italics. This text will explain what the previous step in the tutorial accomplished.
Also, you will notice a red rectangle on many screen shots. This rectangle outlines the next object you will need to push/change/click/etc. Obviously a red rectangle will not appear when you are running KWord.
When you first start KWord (or start a new document after KWord is running), a dialog appears.

This dialog box is used to:
For your first document:
Step 1: Click on the Page Layout tab.

This will list the Page Layout templates available on your system.
Step 2: Now select the Simple Layout icon by clicking once with the left button of your mouse.

This is the template we will use for the tutorial
Step 3: Now confirm your selection by clicking on OK

To complete your selection
KWord will open a new document with three frames. The frames are outlined on the white background, as gray boxes. Each box is a separate frame.
