warn readers of potential pitfalls.

The WYSIWYG Concept

THE WAY MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95 WORKS is the newest title in the highly visual
WYSIWYG Guide series from Microsoft Press. WYSIWYG stands for "What You
See Is What You Get," an acronym that describes the on-screen style of
personal computing made popular by both the Microsoft Windows operating
system and the Apple Macintosh. In the world of computers, WYSIWYG means
"What You See" on the computer screen is exactly "What You Get" on the
printed page. With the WYSIWYG Guides, what you see on the page is what
you'll experience on the computer screen.

Although the book is aimed at beginners, the highly visual approach is
designed so that more experienced computer users can quickly turn to the
information they need. A comprehensive index helps readers quickly look up
topics of interest.
