In finishing our first project (Computer History Timelines), it is my observation that there are some who are natural at problem-solving as they do their work, and there are others who sit and wait for someone to show them (everything!)   We all need a little orientation and instruction, and plenty of TIME to be creative and complete the work.  However, I would like to challenge the reluctant ones to start reading (at your computer!) more.  I will try not to call you “lazy” but that’s the impression I’m left with.  Change my views!  Pull down menus, try options/tabs/buttons … see what happens.  Sometimes text or an object will need to be selected from your document for the tab to work, other times not.  Screen tips give you early insight quickly.  READ, folks!
