Slide Number 1 Title Slide	Hello everyone. Welcome to the tutorial on Edit Preferences, Templates and Residues in GChemPaint.
Slide Number 2 Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn to Edit Preferences Manage Templates Select and use ready Templates Add a New Template We will also learn The uses of Residues and To edit Residues.
Slide Number 3 System Requirement	Here I am using Ubuntu Linux OS version. 12.04 GChemPaint version 0.12.10
Slide Number 4 Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with, GChemPaint chemical structure editor. If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website.
Switch to GChemPaint application.	I have already opened a new GChemPaint application.
	Let's begin the tutorial by editing Preferences.
Go to Edit menu>> navigate to Preferences>> click on it.	Go to Edit menu, navigate to Preferences and click on it. GChemPaint Preferences window opens.

Point to Default Theme >> then click on the drop-down to show the options	In GchemPaint, each document has an associated theme. Let's retain the Default Theme as GChemPaint.
Point to Arrows	Now, I will explain about Arrows in detail, under Themes section.
Point to the arrows	Observe the different types of arrows on the tool box Add an arrow for an irreversible reaction. Add a pair of Arrows for a reversible reaction. Add an arrow for a retrosynthesis step. Add a double headed arrow to represent mesomery.
	Let's add these 4 arrows to the Display area.
Click on>> Add an arrow for an irreversible reaction tool >> click on Display area.	Click on Add an arrow for an irreversible reaction tool, Then click on Display area.

	Now let's learn about Arrow heads.
Point A, B and C	The default values of A, B and C are displayed here.
Point to the Arrows heads parameters A, B and C.	The A, B and C parameters help to vary the shape of the arrow heads.
Increase or decrease A, B and C.	Increase or decrease each one and observe the changes in the arrow heads. let's Click on Close button to close the window
Press CTRL +A to select all objects>> Go to Edit menu, click on Clear.	Let's clear the Display area. Press CTRL +A to select all objects. Go to Edit menu, click on Clear.

Click on Use or manage templates tool.	Click on Use or manage templates tool. The property dialog box opens below.
Point to Templates.	Property dialog box contains Templates with a drop down list.
Point to the list.	List contains Amino acids, Aromatic hydrocarbons, Nucleic bases, Nucleosides and Saccharides.
Point to the Submenu	Each item has a Submenu.
Select Aromatic Hydrocarbons >>click on Benzene from the Submenu.	Let's select Aromatic Hydrocarbons and click on Benzene from the Submenu.
Point to Benzene structure	Benzene structure is displayed on the property page.
click on the Display area to display Benzene structure to the Display area.	Now click on the Display area to display Benzene structure.
Select and click Naphtalene structure	Likewise let's select Naphtalene structure and click on the Display area.
Slide Number 5 Assignment	Select and place other structures on the Display area, on your own.
Click on Save a current file icon on the toolbar	Let's save the file now. Click on Save the current file icon on the toolbar.
Save as dialog box opens. Enter the file name as Benzene click on Save button.	Save as dialog box opens Enter the file name as Benzene click on Save button.

Point to the Identity tab	The Identity tab shows Symbol and Name of the selected residue.
Point to the Formula tab	Formula tab shows the Skeletal structure of the selected residue.
Point to Symbol, Name and skeletal structure	Likewise, let's select s-Bu for Secondary Butyl. Observe the Symbol, Name and Skeletal structure of the selected residue.
	Let's now add a new residue - Hydroxy group.
To add a new residue , click on New button.	To add a new residue, click on New button.
In the Symbol field type O-H. Name it as Hydroxy.	In the Symbol field type O-H. Name it as Hydroxy.
Click on the Formula tab.	Click on the Formula tab. You will see a bulleted bond.
Place the cursor near the bond >> press capital O. Point to Submenu.	Place the cursor near the bond and press capital O. A Submenu opens with O and Os.
Select O Click on Save button.	Select O O-H group attaches to the bond. Click on Save button.
Click on the list .	Now, click on New button to view the list. Observe that O-H residue is added to the list.
Click on Close button to close the window	Let's click on Close button to close the window
