The following instructions, images, illustrations, and outline are based on the use of a PC computer operating under the Microsoft Windows 11 operating system. The details and images in these instructions may vary if you are using a different computer, operating system, or electronic device; for example, if you are using a PC computer operating under the Windows 10 operating system, or if you are using an Apple/Macintosh device. The general concepts and procedures should apply to any similar device, however.

We will use the pictures from the ‘Peanuts Wisdom’ example project in the illustrations for the following instructions. You can view the ‘Peanuts Wisdom’ example project (and other example projects) by clicking here.
