Accessing Microsoft Word Files

Some computers automatically launch a file-viewing application (e.g. Quick View) when you try to open Microsoft Word files from a website. These applications may not correctly display nor allow you to modify information in the file.

If your default viewing application is something other than Microsoft Word, you will have to download the document to your computer in order to correctly view and modify the text, by executing the following steps:

  1. Right click on the document hyperlink.
  2. In the dropdown menu, select “Save Target As” (for Internet Explorer users), or “Save Link As” (for Netscape or Mozilla Firefox users).
  3. In the “Save As” dialog box, choose a location for the Microsoft Word file and click “Save.”
  4. Open the file from its stored location by double-clicking it. The document will automatically open in Microsoft Word.

Acrobat Reader and PDF Files

Some of the documents on this site are available in portable document format (PDF). To view a PDF document, you must have a PDF reader installed. If you do not already have such a reader, there are numerous PDF readers available for free download or for purchase on the Internet:

To view a PDF document on-line, click on the underlined link to the document. To return to this site once you have finished viewing the document, click the <Back> button on your browser.

To download a PDF document to your workstation, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the underlined link to the document, and select the Save Link As option (for Netscape or Mozilla Firefox users) or the Save Target As option (for Internet Explorer users) from the drop-down menu.
