How to use the Practice Prompter:

1. Open the Practice Prompter in Excel.
2. Reduce the Window size so you can position the Prompter on one side of your screen.In Windows (and maybe on an Apple computer?) you can do this by clicking on the ‘title bar’, holding the mouse button down, and dragging the mouse all the way until it reaches the edge of your screen. The Excel file will ‘dock’ into place, to fill one side of your screen.
3. Open your browser and navigate to the StarTouch Practice App: www.startouch.co.uk/upper
4. Reduce the Window size so you can position the Practice App on the other side of your screen
   Again, in Windows you can click and drag the title bar to the other edge of your screen.
5. Now you can set (and see) the Prompter, and then type your practice rep(s) into the App.
