Asher Newspaper Article Archive: Instructions
This PDF file contains
the full text of all the Asher newspaper articles I have from 1902 to the
present. This is a very large file (25 MB) and will take 5-10 minutes
to download with a broadband connection. If you are on a dial-up connection, I do
not recommend attempting to download this. You can request a CD by
emailing me.

A few things to know:
- These instructions and the example below are
for Adobe Reader 8. If you do not have this version or if yours is
configured differently, everything may not appear in the same position.
- Much of the archive is searchable.
Older articles in which the print is not very clear will not be, however.
To search, type a search term in the Find box and press ENTER. The
first instance the word is found will be highlighted. Use the arrow
back and arrow forward buttons which will appear to the right of the Find
box to view other results.
- The page number you are currently viewing
will appear on the tool bar. In the below example, the current page is
30/320. To view other pages, you can click the left and right arrows
that appear to the left of the page number. You can also simply type
in a new page number and press ENTER.
- To the right of the page number is the zoom.
You can zoom in and out by clicking the - and + buttons. The current
zoom level appears to the right of the + button.
- You can print a page by clicking the printer
button.
