Note about Resources
All new resources are being added to the Resource
Centre Catalogue, where you can use keyword searches to find
the resource you need.
Note about PDF documents:
Trouble cutting & pasting from Acrobat PDF files? The newest version
of Adobe Reader lets you select the exact amount of text you want, even
from documents that contain columns (older versions of Reader selected
text line by line across all columns – a process that would jumble
text and challenge even the most patient user). Download
the latest FREE version of Adobe Reader with this link.
- To select text from a PDF document, choose the “I” beam
Select Text tool from the Adobe Reader tool bar at the top of the screen,
and highlight the text you want to copy from the document. Copy it.
Then paste it into your bulletin or other document.
- To select images from a PDF document, choose the "Select Image"
tool from the Adobe Reader tool bar at the top of the screen, and highlight
the image you want to copy from the document. Copy it. Then paste it
into your bulletin or other document.
