Viewing, Downloading, and
Printing Nominations

you can print the nomination once you have it in your browser.
(You need the
Adobe
Acrobat Reader to view and print PDF files.)
To download and save a file on your disk drive, click on it in whatever
manner works for your browser and operating system. (For example, in
Internet Explorer 4, right click your mouse on the short-title and select
"Save Target As" to download the file.) This will save the PDF file onto
the disk drive and directory you specify, with the name you specify. (We
recommend you retain the PDF suffix.) Nomination files are now named
according to their number. For example, LASER SCANNING 3D, which is
nomination seven, is file Nom07_01.PDF.
You are welcome to distribute the summaries, entire set,
or individual nominations either as computer files or in printed form. You
may also photocopy nominations, but photocopying loses much of the detail,
particularly in the graphics.
