To open this file, you will need to extract it with Winzip. Go to http://www.downloads.com and type in Winzip in the search field. After you've installed it, download the manual. When the manual is downloaded, double click on the icon of the downloaded manual. It will automatically open up winzip. The first window asks you something about the license. Click on I Agree, and then follow the directions. If you have problems, find yourself a helper that can guide you through it in person. Winzip also has help files within the program, a tutorial of sorts...that can help you. I hope you enjoy the manual.
