Ch.8--"What is a Wizard?"

A wizard on any Microsoft program is a step-by-step instructor on how to do something like mail merge or creating a résumé. The instructor tells you what to do through a dialog box that appears when you click on the wizard. You are sometimes able to do these tasks without using the wizard, but there are a lot of downsides. For one, you may not even be doing something like a résumé right, but when you use the wizard you know you are doing it right because of the step-by-step instructions Microsoft Word gives you. Another downside to doing it yourself is that you are probably much slower because some things are very complex for a user to do by themselves. A wizard is very useful because there are not a lot of people fully understand all the tasks that a Microsoft program can do.
