What parts of this guide should I read?

Anyone who has looked at the table of contents has surely come to the conclusion that reading this manual from cover to cover, is an unreasonable (and fortunately unnecessary).

Since different users will have different needs, each section of this manual is self-contained. You are not expected to have read all of the previous sections of the manual to find the instructions useful.

This user guide is designed to be helpful to a wide variety of users, from the very experienced, to the novice user. Each user will have different needs from this manual. To help you determine what you should read and what you can wait on, I have prepared a suggested reading list for three levels of user.

If you read each of these sections before you start using KWord, you will find that using KWord is easy.

Obviously this will not cover everyones needs. What I hope it will do, however, is help you determine which parts of the manual you need to read before you begin using KWord.

These sections will help you get started initially. You can then refer to the other parts of this manual as needed to help you with specific questions or situations.
