Q: What
does "Be Sure to Refresh Your Browser" mean? |
|
A: It
means to click the "REFRESH/RELOAD" icon on your browser to be sure you
are viewing the latest, most updated version of a webpage. The
"refresh/reload" icon is the one with the two inverted arrows making a
circle (on Internet Explorer Browser, it's in between the "X" for stop and
the "house" for home page) Your computer stores pictures of
web pages to facilitate faster loading in what is called "cache".
You have to clear your cache by clicking REFRESH/RELOAD in order to see

"The Latest News", which is updated frequently, it's a good idea to click

Q. I am having a problem
opening a "PDF" file. What is PDF and can you help me? |
|
A. "PDF" stands for "Portable Document Format", which permits most all
computers to download and read the documents. They should open
automatically, but if they don't you can easily install "Adobe Reader"
onto your computer. It's free and available by
clicking
here. If you are interested, you can read more about PDF
in an article I authored by
Clicking
Here (It's a PDF file). The article appeared in
"Los Angeles Lawyer" magazine and discusses use of PDF by the legal
profession, but the information is applicable to any context. |
