Follow the instructions below to have two windows open as you go through the Research Library. It's probably best to print this page
and then use the back button to return to the last screen before beginning the process.
If you have a small monitor, you might want to just print out the notebook and
have only one window open on your monitor with the Research Library only on your screen.
Follow the steps below to have the notebook open in a window that covers the left one-third of your screen
and the Research Library open in the right two-thirds of your screen.
- First, you will need to resize the window you have open. Follow these steps:
- First make sure that the open window fills your monitor screen from top to bottom. If not, move the cursor to the top of your browser (Netscape or
Internet Explorer) window, left click, hold down the cursor and drag the top of the window as far as you can to the top of your screen. If you need to, drag the bottom of the browser window so it fills your monitor screen from top to bottom.
To do this, move your cursor to the bottom of this browser window until the cursor turns into a double-headed arrow (as pictured to the right).
Then hold down the left mouse button, and drag the bottom edge of the window toward the bottom of your screen.
Then, resize this window to fill the left one-third of your screen. To do this, move your cursor to the right side of this browser window until the cursor turns into a double-headed arrow. (If
it won't turn into a double-headed arrow, try clicking on the middle "double square" in the top right corner of the window to reduce the size of the window. That should allow your cursor to turn into a double-headed arrow and grab the right side of the window.)
Then hold down the left mouse button, and drag the edge of the window toward the left to "shrink" the size to about one-third of the left side of your screen.
- Then open a second window and move it to cover the right two-thirds of your screen. Follow these steps:
- On the browser window that now fills the left one-third of the screen, click on the "file" menu selection and select "New" and then "Navigator Window" in Netscape or select "New" and then "Window" in Internet Explorer.
- Then move this second window over to cover the right two-thirds of your screen, dragging the top first to move it over next to this window and then dragging the right side of the window to increase the size.
- Finally, in the right second window, go ahead and click on the "Research Library" link near the bottom of this second screen. (If the new window opened up on a different page -- your home page, for example -- copy the url [address]
from the original open window and paste it into the new second window and hit "enter" on your keyboard to get the second window open as a duplicate of the first. Then click on the "Research Library" link near the bottom of this second screen and follow the directions below.)
- Now, you should see the Research Library in the right window and the Notebook questions in the left window.
- You should then be able to scroll through the Notebook questions in the left window and click over into the right screen to look up the answers in the Research Library in the right window.
You may need to
resize or move either window so that they are not overlapping and you'll be able to read all of the text in each window without having to click back and forth to "uncover" something you're reading.
You might want to reduce the font size of the text in either or both windows to a comfortable reading size so you won't have to scroll so much. To change the font size, follow these steps:
- To resize the font in Netscape, click on "View" and select "text size" or "text zoom" (or a similar choice depending on the wording in your menu). Then decrease the size to a comfortable
screen reading size for you.
- To resize the font in Explorer, click on "View" and select "text size" (or a similar choice depending on the wording in your menu). Then decrease the size to a comfortable
screen reading size for you.
