Windows Internet Explorer 8

In April 2009, Microsoft released a new version of Internet Explorer for Windows Vista and XP users: Windows Internet Explorer 8. This new version has been released as a Windows update. If you've set up your computer to automatically install Windows updates, then you've probably already received Windows Internet Explorer 8.

There are new and improved features in the eighth edition of Internet Explorer, among them being an increased focus on security and privacy issues.

No matter which version of Internet Explorer you use, you will still be able to perform all of the tasks as described in your book.

How do I view PDF documents?
The manuals, supplemental content and other training materials found on the Visual Steps websites are created in the PDF format. You can open, view, print or download these files with the program called Adobe Reader. PDF (Portable Document Format) is a universal file format that preserves the fonts, images, graphics, and layout of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it.

Most computers already have this software installed, but if yours does not, you can download Adobe Reader for free from the Adobe website.
