Viewing, Downloading, and
Printing Nominations
Nominations are stored and downloaded as pdf files. You
can view a nomination in your browser by clicking on its short-title, and
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 5 or 6, 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,
ENERGY SIMULATION PLUS, which is
Nomination 6, is file nom-2005-06.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.
