18 Getting Started
Whether you’re an old hand, or just getting started with WebPlus 8.0,
here’s a recommended sequence:
 From the Startup Wizard, choose View a QuickTour to see an
illustrated overview of WebPlus fundamentals. From the first
screen, click the Next button to step forward. Use the Previous
button to step back or the Begin button to return to the first screen.
Click Cancel to exit the QuickTour.
 When you’re ready to continue, click Web Wizard or Start from
Scratch from the Startup Wizard (For details on using a Web
Wizard, see the next section.)
 At any time from the main WebPlus screen, you can press F1 or
choose WebPlus Help from the Help menu to access online help.
The help window initially displays its Contents pane on the left,
and the Visual Reference menu on the right. Click the book icons
in the Contents list to expand topics, and click a document icon to
display a particular topic. Click directly on Visual Reference
graphics to browse interface features like menus and toolbars.
Click the Index tab to peruse the list of key terms, or the Search
tab to look up specific terms using full-text search.
 Beginners should click the Help on Help topic in the Contents list
for some tips on how to proceed.
Using a Web Wizard…
Web Wizards are built-in design assistants that speed you through the
process of creating professional Web sites. In this chapter, you’ll use a
Web Wizard and take a brief tour of the WebPlus environment. Then in
the following chapters, we’ll explain how to customize the various
elements of a Web site. The final chapter covers points you’ll need to
know if you literally start from scratch, with a “clean slate.” (Even if
that’s your preference, you should work through the Wizard-based
examples to get up to speed.)
For demonstration purposes, we will be working with a Wizard from
the “Business” category. So at least for now, pretend you’re the
Webmaster for a small business—it’s OK to use your imagination!
 Launch WebPlus or choose New... from the File menu.
 You’ll see the Startup Wizard. Select Use a Web Wizard.
