Various [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] have put together graphics tutorials. Some of these are still works in progress.

It is preferred to work with [[open format]]s at Wikipedia. For example, if you can, use [[OpenOffice.org]] instead of Word. Look for the programs marked '[[free software]]'.
