The exercises included in the instruction require you to use the Macedonian keyboard which comes standard on Microsoft Windows systems.

Then click on Add, click on the plus sign next to Macedonian in the drop down list, and under Keyboard, select Macedonian (FYROM). Then click OK twice. Now, at the right of your Windows bar at the bottom of the screen you will have the choice of switching to a Macedonian keyboard by clicking on EN (or another language if that is standard on your system) and choosing MK.

To activate the keyboard on prior Windows operating systems, click on the START menu, go to Settings, Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, and click on the Languages tab. Then click on Details, Add, select Macedonian from the drop down list under Input Language and click OK three times to close each of the respective windows.
