documents.

Access is easy.

How to unzip the file:

Once you download the ZIP file, you need to extract the files onto your system.

Typically, files are downloaded into your Downloads folder unless another directory

XP or newer and Mac OS X, you can

double-click the ZIP file and it will open in

a new window. You can then copy the

contents to another folder. OS X will

create a new folder next to the ZIP file

when you double-click it, but may not

open it automatically.

2. Right-click the ZIP file. In Windows you

can right-click the ZIP file and select

Extract All… or Extract Here. Extract All

will allow you to set a path for the

extracted folder to go, and Extract Here

the same location as the ZIP file.
