How to use this Manual and Online Help
This manual will help you become familiar with your AccelTest software. You can get help while
using AccelTest by clicking on Help.
AccelTest operates much the same on both Windows and Macintosh computers. When differences
occur, we provide information for both operating systems. Note that in Windows computers,
Wizards are used, and Macintosh computers use Assistants. Both Windows and Macintosh screens
are shown in this manual.
If you have additional questions or need more information about AccelTest or other Renaissance
Learning software, you can email us at [e-mail].
For technical support, email questions to us at [e-mail].
In this manual, we use different symbols and type styles to identify buttons, menus, and dialog
boxes or screens on your computer screen. We also identify computer keys on your keyboard.
When you need to type information in a field, we use a different font to identify what you need to
type. For example, “Type admin in the ‘Enter your password’ field,” in the AccelTest Password
dialog box.
