Written Tutorials

For the last twelve years, one of Pass IT On’s long standing volunteers, Jim Paterson has dedicated his Friday mornings to writing easy-to-follow illustrated computer tutorials. These tutorials cover a range of topics including some for absolute beginners and for people whose disabilities make it difficult for them to access a computer. Just click on the links below – each PDF tutorial will open in a new window. If you want, you can then save them to your computer. [If you don’t already have it, click here to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader which lets you view PDF files.] Individuals, charities and non-profit organisations may copy and distribute the tutorials freely but please acknowledge our copyright.  A wee donation would be very welcome from anyone richer!
