General
Microsoft Word Documents are written using the MS-Word 2002 word processor and stored on the website server. MS-Word is the world’s most used word processing program, as such most computers have a copy of the program installed. Visitors using MS-Word versions prior to 2002 will not be able to download and open these documents. Visitors using Microsoft Works also will not be able to open these documents. In these cases select the HTML download option.

The MS-Word document will be faithful to its original creation and should contain all graphics and features included in the original.

How to Download
If you have a copy of MS-Word you can transfer the file stored on the website server to your computer, then open it or save it as the same name or another name of your choosing. The file name will be [filename.DOC]. There are three options that will be presented to you after you click on the MS-Word document link. These options are “Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”. If you click “Open” your computer will create a new window with your MS-Word program menu system in it and then will download the article into itself. You can then read, manipulate, and save the file using the “save as” feature in MS-Word. If you select the second option “Save” you will be presented with a dialog box which will allow you to transfer and save the document, without starting MS-Word. You can later start MS-Word and then open the file that you have saved. If you select “Cancel” the dialog box will disappear and the transfer of the file will be aborted.

After opening, you can print the document from MS-Word by selecting File-> Print from the menu.

Warning to Microsoft Works Users.
The files created and stored on the website server as MS-Word Documents will not be able to be opened by MS-Works programs. Please use the HTML option shown in the adjacent column.

Operation of the Links and Shortcuts
The MS-Word Document after downloading will be able to be opened with MS-Word and enjoy all of the editing and formatting options available in MS-Word. However, the shortcuts, links, and Table of Contents shortcut link features built into the HTML document will not be available.

Try an Example HTML Download

General
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) documents are usually derived from another program, such as MS-Word, which spawned the HTML that is stored on the website server.  Generally, the document is written in MS-Word (or another program) and converted to HTML either externally or automatically. On this website we do the conversion from MS-Word done automatically by the website at the time of uploading to the server. HTML is not a word processing program and therefore the converting will not necessarily keep all of the features in the original MS-Word document. HTML is rendered on your computer screen by your Internet browsing software. The most commonly used browser is Internet Explorer (IE). IE can read the HTML document and display it on your computer. To do this we construct a new window and then insert the HTML document into it.

The HTML document may have workable links, and tables of contents which operate to display portions of the document without you having to search through the document by scrolling.

How to Get the HTML Document
If you click on the “HTML Version” the website will transfer an HTML file to your browser and it will display without calling a word processing program. Once the browser has finished displaying the document you may use the links and the tables of contents and tables of figures to scroll through the documents using the browser’s Link Clicking Feature and returning to the table of contents by clicking the “Back” button. 

After the browser displays the document, if you wish to print, simply use the IE browser menu “File -> Print function. You can save the HTML file for later viewing, however, the photos and diagrams may not be visible.

Operation of the Links and Shortcuts
The HTML Document after opening can be saved and will be able to be opened with MS-Word as an HTML file, but all editing functions will not be usable. However, the shortcuts, links, and Table of Contents shortcut link features built into the HTML document will be available.
