DISPLAYING MORE THAN ONE DOCUMENT IN A WINDOW
==========================================
After you install the Acrobat Reader, open the CD and double-click
the Mainmenu.pdf file. This document provides easy access to the books
in the collection.

To allow more than one document to remain open at the same time, 
you need to set a Preference in the Acrobat Reader interface.

1. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu.
   The Preferences dialog box appears.
2. Choose Options from the list of Preferences.
3. In the Miscellaneous area, deselect the 
  ìOpen Cross-Document Links in Same Windowî option.
4. Click OK.

You only have to do this once. Adobe Acrobat will use this 
setting every time you start the application.

For more information on using the Acrobat Reader interface, see
the Using This Collection document. In particular, you might find 
it useful to take advantage of the full text index search capabilities 
available on this CD-ROM.
