Instructions

Two hints on using the Acrobat Reader:

1. Version 3.0 provides a plug-in that works with most WWW browsers (e.g., Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer) and allows the PDF document to be shown within the browser window. This is a convenient way to view one tutorial. However, the links between the tutorials and the table of contents do work from within the browser.
2. You can download a version of the Acrobat Reader that includes the Acrobat full-text search plug-in. The self-contained version of the tutorials provides an index that can be used by the search plug-in to search across the entire set of tutorials. This may be a useful feature.

Microsoft Access Tutorials: Print-only version

2up.pdf

Print-only version: The tutorials are combined into one PDF file and formatted in "2-up" mode (two pages of content per piece of paper). The hypertext links do not work in this document--it is intended for printing only. Note that the images print best on a PostScript printer. Results are less certain using non-PS printers.

Colophon

These tutorials were created using Adobe FrameMaker 5 for Windows 95/NT. Each chapter was printed as a separate PostScript file and Adobe Acrobat Distiller was used to convert the PS files to PDF. Acrobat Catalog was used to create the index. The screen shots were done with Corel PhotoPaint.
