5. FAQs

What do I do if a resource does not open when I click it?

In most cases, clicking a resource opens that resource in the default application

that you have set for your computer to associate with its file type. If a file does

not open when you click it, check the default settings on your computer and

make sure you have a program set to open the file type. (See the Help feature of

your operating system for instructions on setting defaults for your computer.)

If you have two or more versions of a program installed on your computer, you

may have trouble opening a file even if you have the default set. For example, If

you have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader installed and also have Adobe® Acrobat®

Standard or Adobe® Acrobat® Pro installed, you may have trouble opening PDFs.

Selecting Adobe® Acrobat® Standard or Adobe® Acrobat® Pro as the default

handler for PDF files usually resolves the issue.

What does the symbol next to a resource icon mean?

The symbol next to a file icon indicates that a tooltip is available for the

resource. Hover over the symbol to get more information.

Why do I get a pop-up window when I click some resources?

In some cases, when you click on a resource, a pop-up window will open. This

window provides - more information about the resource. To access the resource,

follow the instructions in the pop-up window.
