Newbie

Hi, I'm new at this composing thing, just wanted to know if anyone had a few hints to get me started.

Re: Newbie

Hi Newbie,

Just off the top of my head:

Read the help file. All of it. Then use it as needed to get you through the sticky spots. Also read the user manual and work through the examples. It's also available in pdf format on the CD, for convenience.
Read the online FAQ. The very first item is "What is the best way to get started using NWC?"
Get acquainted with The NWC Scriptorium. There is a wealth of information there, including the comprehensive Command Summary written by fellow users. Also have a look at the composition hints.
Participate in the NWC Newsgroup, there are a lot of knowledgable people who are willing and able to help out.

Most importantly, just roll up your sleeves and get at it.

Good luck,
Fred
