First, determine if your computer uses Microsoft Word. If it
does, the documents should automatically appear on your screen
when you click on them.
If not, you may need to cut and paste the text into your word
processing program following the simple steps below.
- Check to see if your computer has the software application
Adobe Acrobat Reader. If not, click
here to download and install this free program. You will
need to be on the Internet to do this.
- Click on the document you want to open. If you have an
older computer, it may take a minute or two for the text
to appear.
- Find the Tool Bar at the top of your screen and click on
the "Text Select Tool."
- Highlight the text you want to copy by clicking and dragging
your cursor over the words.
- Once you have selected all of the text you want to copy,
return to your Tool Bar at the top of your screen and click
on Edit, then Copy.
- Next, open a new document in your word processing program.
- At
the top of the page, select Edit, then Paste and the text
should appear ready for you to customize
- Then fill in the appropriate blanks indicated by brackets <<and>> with
your local information.
