Screen Print Options

To capture the screen and print it out, simply press the screen print key, open your word processor and click paste.

screens.

 

Helpful Software

Browsers work differently and sometimes what works well in one doesn’t work as well in

another. You can load two browsers on your computer so when you have problems with a

site, you can try using a different browser. Download the free software from the software

company’s site or go to associationresources.com/links for quick access to either

Microsoft and Netscape.

 

If you don’t have the latest version of these browsers, now is a good time to upgrade. Old browsers aren’t compatible with some of the newest Web features.

 

Another useful free software package is Adobe’s Acrobat Reader, which allows you to open and print PDF files. Access this software at associationresources.com/link or at adobe.com.

 

Remember, once you’ve downloaded the program, you will need to install it. Installation is as easy as double clicking so don’t be shy.
