• To access content, open the main HTML file (usually named "Start.htm" or "Begin.htm") in your default browser.

Installing to Hard Disk or Network

1. Create a folder on your hard drive or network where you will put the files.
2. Open the media (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.) for this product in your file browser.
3. There are two items you need to copy from this product into the folder you just created. They are:
   • The main HTML file
     this is usually named "Start.htm" or "Begin.htm"
   • The "data" folder
     which contains all the support files for this product
   You do not need to copy over any other files.
4. Once the files are finished copying, you may want to create a shortcut on your desktop. Click once on the main HTML file on your hard drive or network to select it, then:
   
   • Windows: Right-click the main HTML file and select Create Shortcut.
   • Mac: Select File > Make Alias.
   You can copy this shortcut to anywhere on your computer (including your desktop).
5. You can remove the product media from your computer and launch (or double-click) the main HTML file from your hard drive or network.

This product is not supported when run from a web server.

Removing this product from your computer or network

This is as simple as deleting the folder containing the main HTML file and "data" folder. If you created shortcuts to the product, you will want to delete those as well.

While PDF is most often used for documents, this product may also contain other types of files. The software needed for each kind is listed below:

• PDF
  You will need to have Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader, version 5.0 or newer installed. If you do not have Adobe Reader on your computer, you can download a free copy at:
  http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
• Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint documents
  These documents usually require Microsoft Office or a compatible office software suite.
  • Windows: If you do not have Microsoft Office on your computer, free Office reader programs can be downloaded from Microsoft's download page. Microsoft does not provide free Word, Excel or PowerPoint viewer utilities for Macintosh or UNIX/Linux platforms.
    
  • Macintosh: for Word files, you might want to try Abiword as a free alternative to MS Word.
  • UNIX and Linux: Version 2.0 or later of OpenOffice.org can open most MS Office documents.
• HTML
  Your web browser will be able to handle these files.
• Multimedia
  Most multimedia content will be in either MPEG-1 (video) or MP3 (audio) formats.
