ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS:

Issue: How do I copy/export text for editing in a word processor?

Solution: To select text and copy it to another application, choose either the text selection tool or the column selection tool and highlight the text you want to copy. Select Edit > Copy, switch to a word processing application, and paste. The text will be available for editing and formatting.

Issue: How do I copy graphics?

Solution: Choose the graphics selection tool. The cursor will change to the cross-hair icon. Drag a rectangle around a graphic to select it. (To deselect the graphic and start over, click anywhere outside the selected graphic.) The graphic can then be copied and pasted into an application.

Issue: FIND versus SEARCH.

Solution: FIND allows the user to search the file currently viewed for a key word. SEARCH allows the user to search the entire ITE, including Teacher Edition pages and resources.

Issue: Will this program run on Windows 2000/XP or OSX?

Solution: This program has been tested on 2000/XP platforms with no problems.

In OSX with Acrobat 6.0 installed, open mainmenu.pdf by double-clicking on the file from the CD. Customer may need to open Acrobat 6.0 first if multiple Acrobat versions are installed on the computer.
