Tune the VOR frequency in the NAV 1 radio, turn the dial on the NAV 1 indicator until it is lined up, and make sure it is TO and not FROM, then turn the plane to the heading on the NAV 1 indicator, you will need to make small corrections to stay on course, and will need even bigger corrections as you get closer to the VOR, also most VOR's will not work if you are farther away than 60nm from the VOR, some will work farther than that though.....
