Writing Tutor Help Use this tutor as a guide from the beginning to the end of the writing process. When the program opens, it will ask you if you want to work on an existing paper or open a new, blank document. If you want to start a new paper, select "New," and the program will create a new paper in your preferred word processing program. |

Start in the top left corner with Assignment. At this step, the tutor will help you analyze the assignment you've been given and start to decide what's the best course for you to take with the paper. Continue through the process of writing your paper. The program will help you at every step: Choosing a Topic, Prewriting, Planning, Drafting, Revising, and Editing. As the program helps you understand what to do to complete the writing process, switch to the paper in your word processing program to complete those steps.
At any time, if you're not sure what a button will do, hover the mouse cursor over it and the text in the gray Description box will help you.
