If you want to download anything, including a PDF file, you simply right
click on the link and select the save as option. This will put you in a
dialog box where you will tab through all of your specifications for this
fille--name, where to save to, etc. There are two ways for right clicking on
something. Num pad * and the key between the control key and the windows key
on the right side of your keyboard do the same thing.
Once you download the file simply pressing enter will open the file in Adobe
Acrobat Reader. However, if you find that you prefer to read it as a Word
document you can copy it and paste it into Microsoft Word or simply tell
Word to open the document after opening the program. You can do this by
pressing the alt key which takes you to the menu bar. Select the open option
under the file menu. Or you can simply press control plus O. From there just
tab through your options until you find the file you want to open.

Thanks for the tip.
I am not comfortable yet, with downloading a PDF to another window.
Where would I put it? In "Microsoft Word"?
Would it take the same time to open it in there versus on line?
And, how would I open it? Would I have to find Adobe and do some key
punching or, would Adobe automatically open it once I open it?
My guess, is that, when I come upon a PDF, I would go to the menu bar and
hit the "save as" button to put it in to my documents?
Thanks again.
Rich

It is important to remember that PDF files take a long time to load,
especially if you are on dial-up. That is why I download these files
before opening them. Adobe Acrobat Reader should be set to open the
document in a separate window other than your browser. This will allow
you
to close your document without closing your browser. When it opens your
document, it should ask you how you would like it to be displayed. If it
did not even do that it did not even start loading the document. Getting
a
feel for how slow PDF files are? They are immensely beneficial but they
are also less intuitive--meaning it does not tell you how close it is to
completing loading the document.

Hi, I have 10.0 and XP home.
I was given the below web site to up load and I am having problems with
this
task.
When I hit the link, the PDF doesn't seem to complete its function.
Also, when I try to alt. left arrow back to the main page nothing
happens.
I then have to alt. F4 and this knocks me out of I E.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Here is the web info.

Chef Jeff Moschetti puts the final touches on his Saffron Tamale With
Spanish Braised Pork Shank. That's because its creator, Warwick Melrose
executive chef Jeff Moschetti, worked with EyeCare America - a
public-service program of the American Academy of Ophthalmology - to
identify and modify his favorite recipe that features ingredients that
promote eye health.
About 10 million Americans suffer from age-related macular degeneration,
the
leading cause of vision loss in people 65 and older, says Dr. Dwain
Gordon
Fuller, an ophthalmologist and retinal specialist in private practice at
Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas.
Although there's no cure, Dr. Fuller says there are natural, as well as
medical, ways to slow its progress. Recent ongoing studies suggest that
certain antioxidants, such as omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins and
minerals,
can play an important role in eye health. That's why EyeCare America has
teamed up with several chefs across the country to make their
eye-healthy
recipes available at www.eyecareamerica.org.
