DOWNLOADING TIPS:

We recommend Netscape 4.0 or later. To use the embedded web links in these files, you will need to open them inside your browser. This may require a one-time reconfiguration of your browser/Acrobat settings to make sure the Acrobat "plug-in" is in your browser plug-ins folder and configured to read PDF files directly within your browser. You can find out all about how to do this at these pages on the Adobe website:

MAC:
(Netscape) http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/8d56.htm
(Explorer) http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/93f2.htm

WINDOWS:
(Netscape) http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/78c6.htm
(Explorer) http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/98fe.htm

When you are able to view the pages within your web browser, you can click on "red boxes" and you'll be linked to useful documentation and resources. By selecting the "back" arrow or command, you can return to the report. In Netscape Navigator, you will be returned to the exact page and position where you "clicked." In Internet Explorer, you may be returned to the beginning of the section. If anyone has a solution to this Explorer quirk, please let us know!
