The problem was, analyst usually thought onHow would I teach this goal? instead ofHow would I perform this goal?.

Step 1 should be eliminated since theexplanation of the operating system is notrelevant at all.

Step 2 should be revised to clearly teachreaders on how to open the word processingprogram.


13/14

Step 3 should be eliminated as well since it isa general process for first-time users whichcan be considered as a substep.

Step 4 too is irrelevant and should beremoved since explanation regarding word

program can be really long for first time user. Step 5 is correct, but the term toolbars is

too general.

Step 6 should be broken into 3 different partsto make it easier for the readers.
