You know how sometimes you read something in a book, and you say, “Now
where the heck did I read about that?”
This book has internal links... links that take you from one part of the book to
a related section. So you can easily find and reread a topic. These links
appear as blue-underlined.
Links to the Web appear like this... http://BizShop.com We call this a URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
To hyperlink to the URL, open a connection to the Internet if you are not already connected. Then click anywhere on the URL to go there.
If this doesn't open your browser window automatically to the linked page, you may have to copy and paste the URL instead into the address bar of your browser.
Here’s how to move around the book...
• Scroll Bar -- click on the Scroll Box in the Scroll Bar and drag it down or
up to rapidly move forward or backward through the book. You will see the
page number appear when you click on the box. Release it when you get to
the desired page...
Clicking just below or above the Scroll Box will advance or reverse a partof-
a-page at a time.
Clicking on the Scroll Arrows (at the bottom or top of of the Scroll Bar, not
shown in illustration) will advance or reverse the page by a single line at a
time... holding an Arrow down will scroll the page continuously.
• Arrow Keys -- Pressing the “m” or “i” cursor key on your keyboard will
behave differently, depending on your Operating System and on which version
of Acrobat Reader that you have. Try it and see what happens in your case.
• “Back Buttons” -- The entire left and right margins of every page are giant,
invisible “Back buttons.” Click in either margin to trace back to the
previous page you were on, even if you were in a different file. Click again to
trace another page back.
When you click in a margin, it turns black, and when you release the click, off
you go! Here’s what it looks like...

This feature is especially useful after linking to another part of the book. Once
you read that material, you’ll likely want to return to your point of
origin. Clicking in either margin sends you straight back, so you can pick up
where you left off.
• Bookmarks -- This is useful for those with larger monitors. If you have a
smaller monitor, you will likely find that it chews up too much “monitor real
estate.”
If you are using...
• Acrobat Reader v.4... Under the Window menu, choose Show Bookmarks.
• Acrobat Reader v.3... Under the View menu, select Bookmarks and Page.
A set of bookmarks will appear in the left margin. Here’s what the bookmarks
might look like (exact appearance
varies depending on the operating system and version)...
The triangle (or “+” sign in some versions) to the left of “1. How to Use MYSS!”
means that there are “sub-bookmarks.” Move your cursor over the triangle,
like this...
Then click on the triangle to expand the bookmarks under that chapter.
Click again to shrink them all back down, then again to expand them...

Now... here’s the whole point of bookmarks. Move your cursor over
one of the actual bookmarks until it turns into a “hand with pointing finger,” then
click...
You’ll immediately leap to the beginning of that section.
• Straight Page Jumps -- At the bottom of your Acrobat screen, you will see
something that looks like this...
or like this...
The appearance and exact mode of use varies depending on your OS and
version. But no matter -- this is a simple, useful method to move around.
Experiment with it for a few minutes to understand how best to use your
version.
Click here to open a preference window .
Set the sharpness. Would you like the text to appear smooth like this?...

... or sharp like this?...
If you prefer the smooth look, check the box beside “Smooth Text and
Images.” Otherwise, leave it unchecked...
At the bottom of your Acrobat Reader window, set magnification and page
display layout...
• Magnification -- Generally, the best magnification is 100%. But if you
want to adjust this, the control looks like this...
or like this...
Click on the button and here’s what snaps up...
... Enter or select the magnification that you prefer.
If you have a small monitor (15-17”)...
To make the words as large as possible, maximize the window so that it takes
up the whole monitor screen. Then click and choose “Fit Visible” (as
shown above). Experiment with different settings.
If you have a large monitor (19” or greater)...
Maximize the window so that it takes up the whole monitor screen. Then
click and choose “Fit Page.” This fits one entire page into the vertical
dimension of the window (convenient for reading). Experiment with different
settings and window sizes, as well as page display layouts (next)...

• Page Display Layout -- Just to the right of the magnification setting,
you’ll see...
or this...
If you click on it, you can choose between the following page layout options...
Single page -- displays one page in the document at a time.
Continuous -- arranges the pages in a continuous vertical column for easy
scrolling.
Continuous -- Facing Pages -- arranges the pages to appear side by side.
This is only a good choice if you have a gigantic monitor.
To find a word, hit either Control-f (Windows) or Command-f (Mac) to bring
up the Acrobat Find window...
In the example above, you are searching for MWR, (abbreviation for Most
Wanted Response). Since you are looking for exactly MWR, you click
“Match Whole Word Only” -- if you wanted to catch any word with MWR in it
(ex., MWRs), you would not click this box. Because MWR is abbreviated with
capital letters, you ask it to “Match Case.” If you’d like to find the next
occurrence of MWR, just hit either Control-g (Windows) or Command-g
(Mac).
A sidebar is a side note that relates to the main discussion, but which breaks
the flow of the main thought. So I “tuck it away” to help the flow. It appears like
this...
