Microsoft Word (.doc) and Microsoft Excel (.xls)

Installing a Microsoft Converter or Viewer will allow you to read Word or Excel files if you have an older version of the respective program or if you do not have Microsoft applications at all.

Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)

These files can be accessed by intalling the Acrobat Reader. Once the Reader is installed the files can be viewed directly from your browser.

How to Print PDF Files: When printing Adobe Acrobat PDF files from within your web browser, do NOT use the web browser print facility. Instead, use the print button at the left end of the special Adobe Acrobat tool bar, which appears immediately above the viewing window. See illustration below for location of this print button.

How to Save PDF Files: To save the file for later use once you have loaded it for viewing, on most browsers you just select "File" then "Save As..." from the menu bar. To just save without viewing, place the cursor over the link to the pdf file, hold down the shift key and click the mouse. This should bring up the "Save As" window.

Compressed Files (.zip)

These files can be expanded by (after downloading) double clicking on the file in your windows explorer. These .zip contain either extremely large or multiple files. You can review a more detailed explanation below.

To work with compressed files:

1. Save the file locally.

• Right click with your mouse, and select Save as (or Save link as)
• Select the directory you want to save into or create a directory to save it to.

2. Run the zip file.

• An Unzip window will appear. Select the folder you wish the files to be unziped to and then hit the Unzip buttom.

3. You can now use the (unziped) file. (It should have a familiar file extension).

Note: You can save any file by Right-clicking on any download link, and selecting "Save Target As" (IE) or "Save Link As" (Netscape)
