1. The Start button on the far‐left side of the Lesson Dashboard lights up when the program is ready for you to begin the lesson. To begin typing, click Start. Type the characters as they appear on your screen until the lesson is finished. Standard mode is the default setting for displaying text in the typing lessons. In Standard mode, the characters display beneath and between the lines of lesson text. If you do not like the way the text displays, you can change the mode from Standard to Overstrike on the Settings screen. In Overstrike mode, the characters you type do not display between lines; they display above the lesson text.

2.If you want to take a break during a typing lesson, click the Pause button on the far‐right side of the Lesson Dashboard. On the Pause menu, you can select Resume, Start Over, or End.

The Resume option returns you to the test, and the End option returns you to the Home screen. Your typing score and analysis information are only saved when the entire lesson is completed.
