How To Open a Newsletter
Newsletters can be open and read on line from our website
or downloaded to your hard drive. Double click on the edition link below for the
newsletter you want to open or save. You are permitted to copy and distribute
any newsletter without copyright violation.
Trouble Opening a Newsletter?
Sometimes a newsletter will not open and all you will see
is the word "DONE" at the bottom of your computer screen. If this
happens it is usually because of the version of Acrobat Reader on your computer.
There are two simple solutions:
1) Right click on the newsletter link and save the
newsletter to your hard drive. Then open it directly from your hard drive
instead of trying to open it on line from our website. This virtually always
works.
2) If
the newsletter will not open on your computer from our website, the usual reason is a damaged
copy of Acrobat Reader. Go to Adobe's website at www.adobe.com
and download a current copy of
Reader and the newsletters will open from our website.
