Let's Get Started!

Welcome to MIXM™--your easy-to-use browser companion. Just follow the steps below and you'll be ready to jump right in.
First, let's get acquainted with the new look of your screen. On the right--where you're reading these instructions--
is your Internet browser. On the left you can see the MIXM™ window.
It has three main parts: the MIXM™ Toolbar across the top, the File Bar down the side,
and a big area in the middle, your Workspace.


Step 1
Start by opening a new Workspace file. On the MIXM™ Toolbar, click the New Workspace button:

Type in a name for your Workspace-how about "MIXM"? Click Ok, and you can begin
working with MIXM. Don't forget to save your Workspace before you end your MIXM session
or close your Internet Explorer window.

 Step 2
How about copying a paragraph into your Workspace? It's as easy as drag and drop! Try copying
Step 1 of these instructions, like this:

Select the paragraph by clicking at the beginning and dragging your cursor all the way to the end.
Then drag your selection onto your MIXM™ Workspace. If you prefer, you can copy and paste your
selection onto your Workspace.

 Step 3
Want to put a picture in your Workspace? Here's how:
Just select the picture below, and drag it onto to your Workspace.



Some pictures cannot be dragged, so you can copy and paste them. Here's how:
  • Put your cursor on the picture, and press the right mouse button.
  • In the menu that appears, select Copy.
  • Place your cursor in your MIXM™ Workspace, and press Ctrl and V on your keyboard.
Voila! There's the picture, along with a header showing your name, the date and time,
and the picture's address on the Web. Click on the picture's address whenever you want to
go back to the source of the picture in the Internet. To perform editing operations on a snippet,
click the icon in the snippet's header.

Step 4
Now write some notes. Place your cursor in the Workspace, outside the borders of your snippets, and type whatever you'd like and as much as you'd like.

Step 5

It's time to save your work. In the File Bar, click Menu, and select Workspace and Save.
If you prefer, click the Save Workspace button in the Toolbar.Be sure to save your work each time
you switch to another Workspace or log off.
