Trespassing, searching for and using the web content which is not explicitly provided by links, hacking and copying of the whole Web site is forbidden and illegal.
- This Web-site is tested to work with MS Internet Explorer. Some issues may be present while using opening/saving different file types (other than html).
- Some Internet Browsers requires "REFRESH," "RELOAD," or similar command to update the web-page from the last log-on.
NOTE: If PDF file appears blank, use <BACK then FORWARD> browser key to display it, or copy PDF file and then display it!
- You always may use your browser's navigation keys (BACK key, FORWARD key, and others) to retrace your browsing.
- You also may use Find function of your browser to quickly search for a text on a Web page (usually under Edit or Search menu).
- To print a table or a figure on a separate page, you may right-click on it and copy or copy-and-paste it in a separate (new) document, for example in Word, and then print it, or select it and print selection.
- Change font size using your browser features to change the size of your viewing page.
- With any software, if in doubt, you may right-click on any item/object and get a context sensitive pop-up menu (for example, to copy etc). If copying on a floppy, be aware that the process may not be finished when the screen activities finish. Memory cashing may require some extra time for the file contents to be copied to the floppy and file closed. Otherwise file may be incomplete/corrupted. You may have to use your FTP software for file transfer if a FTP site is password protected.
- Different file formats: If you can not read a document file it may be in some format other than your viewing software (htm or html). If it is, for example, .mcd file it is in MathCAD format and you need the MathCAD software to view, open and edit it; or you may download
free read-only version of specific software (like Acrobat Reader, Word or PPT Viewers, etc., also under similar names for other software). If it is .doc file it may be MS_Word format and a free MS Word Viewer is provided for you. You may copy and install it (by running/double-clicking) on a computer you like to install it on. If it is .pdf file you need to view it using the Adobe Acrobat Reader/Viewer. A PDF link may not open and/or blank screen may appears when PDF Acrobat Reader tries to open within Internet browser (if a PDF file is in secured Web folder user name and password will be required). You may try to open PDF Acrobat Reader and then back to the Web link and open PDF file within the browser (if it works). You may need to change the setting in Acrobat (Edit>Options>Preferences.... ) so that PDF links open in separate new Acrobat window instead within the Internet browser. Be aware that you may need the same or newer version of the application software than the one used to create a file.
- NOTE TO STUDENTS: If a link does not open in its native application, save it as a file with proper extension (*.doc, *.mcd, *.pdf or whatever) on your hard drive or floppy and then open in the corresponding application.
