Alternate Ways describe shortcuts and alternate methods of completing a task. Finally, In Depth gives extra tips, special hints, and explanations of related topics.
• Illustrations. Multiple illustrations add visual appeal and reinforce. learning in each skill area. The display of an icon each time a new button is introduced helps the user gain an understanding of the basic concepts.

• Author Interaction Across All Application Texts in the Series. All texts within the MOUS prep series reflect the efforts of experienced authors using guidelines developed by Series Editors. The student will find consistency within and among all titles in the series.
