Tips for viewing this guide
Here are some helpful tips for making it easier to read and find information in this guide as you
view it in Adobe Reader:
• To magnify the page, click the magnifying glass , move the cursor (which is now a
magnifying glass) over the page, and click repeatedly. Click Previous View ( or depending
on your version of Reader) to return to the original view.
• Click an entry in the Table of Contents or Index to go directly to that section of the guide.
• If you click a link and go to a page, in the guide click Previous View ( or depending on your
version of Reader) to return to the page you were on before you clicked the link.
• If you click a link and go to a web page, the page may open in Adobe Reader instead of in your
web browser. To specify whether pages open in Reader or in your web browser, go to the Edit
