Macintosh Users: These are Windows applications. However. they run quite well on a variety of current Mac models. Your Mac first must be modified with one of the following products: “Parallels Desktop” from www.Paralles.com and “Bootcamp” from www.Apple.com. Check these sites for more information. (Imagine Windows and Mac operating systems on one computer!)


On downloading: Each product is contained in a zip folder file for compactness and security. In this folder is the installation program, as well as documentation in Acrobat PDF format. The folder can be opened with most versions of Windows Explorer or with such software as WinZip. We suggest that you create a special folder on your hard drive to receive the files you select to download. From this web page right click on the file name and select “save as” to the folder you created.

Acrobat Reader is required for the reading of the software documentations as well some of the products. Most computers already have this on their system. If not, a free Acrobat Reader can be downloaded from: www.adobe.com

 

Some applications have our old address, please ignore. This web site contains our current address.

OUR SOFTWARE PRODUCT LISTING
 

  A.  ELECTRONIC BOOKS FOR WINDOWS

     For Copying And Pasting Text Into Documents



ACCESSING OUR ELECTRONIC BOOKS AFTER INSTALLATION

From the Start Button click on the appropriate Program Group. Then click on the appropriate program icon. When our electronic book opens there is a table of contents. Click on the topic you want to work with. Once you have located the material you want to copy into a document, highlight all the text needed with your mouse. Once highlighted, press Ctl-C, this copies the highlighted material to the clipboard. Move to the document you want the material pasted into and press Ctl-V, and the highlighted material is pasted into your document. Check your Windows and word processor manuals on how to copy and paste text from different applications. In most cases this is done from the application Edit Menu. It is always wise to check for textual and formatting errors before final formatting and printing. This is why it is important that text from our electronic books be copied and pasted into your Windows word processor documents. We do not recommend printing material directly from our electronic books.
