Internet Access Tips
If you are using a PC
- Most pages are designed in Word97--I'm too lazy to
translate these to HTML. Some loss of equations and
formatting can occur on translating, and two copies have
to be maintained if I want to edit them. Yuck!
- If you are using Internet Explorer, you may be able to
see the files directly, including equations and
everything. Amazing. Internet Explorer may run slowly in
this case.
- If you do not see the file directly, consider downloading
Word97
Viewer which is free from Microsoft (all of the World
Domination Plan).
- To download a copy of the Word files to save on a disk, right
click on the blue hyperlink and you will be prompted
for a location to store the files.
- Netscape should work OK, but don't expect it to
automatically open the Word files. (Sometimes Internet
Explorer doesn't open them either!) A qualified Netscape
guru can probably make it open the Word files OK.
If you are working on a Mac
- God bless you--somebody has to keep this company afloat.
- Netscape may not be able to read the Word97 files (no
viewer is available from Microsoft, last time I checked).
One solution is to click on the desired file, which
should cause you to be prompted for a location where the
file should be saved. Insert a diskette formatted
for PC's. The Mac will write the file to
that disk. Take it to a PC and print it there.
Sorry....but life's too short to satisfy everyone. You
might do better to get Internet
Explorer for Mac. There is some chance it can open
these Word97 files, but I haven't tried it. Die-hard
Netscape fans may also be able to find a Word97 plug-in for
Netscape on their site. Last time I looked, there was
none for Mac, however.
- Word97 should be available for the Mac by now.
