Questions and Answers

 How do I view and print meeting archive files?

To download a file, right-click on its link and then select (using the left mouse button) the "Save As" or "Save Target As" option in the drop-down menu that will appear. Carefully note the name of the file folder or path name into which you save the file. (The path name will be displayed somewhere within the dialog box that appears in response to clicking on the "Save As" or "Save Target As" directive.) If desired, you may download multiple files by right-clicking them in sequence and following the preceding steps for each file.

Minimize or close your browser and navigate to the downloaded file's folder using either Windows Explorer or My Computer. You should then be able to open (view) the file by double-clicking its icon (or by clicking once and then pressing the ENTER button on the keyboard). As an alternative, you may open Microsoft Word first and then use the File/Open dialog within that program to view the downloaded meeting archive file(s).

To print an archive file, open it using Microsoft Word, then click on the printer icon near the top of the program window. A print dialog box will appear; select the printer and other options desired and then click on the Print button.
