    (e.g. c:\download).
  • On the Finance Canada WWW site, locate a document you wish to download.
  • Right click on the link to the required document and select Save Target As (Internet Explorer) or Save Link As (Netscape) from the drop-down menu.

Using a file

The downloaded WordPerfect files are self-extracting (.exe) archives.

Once downloaded, double-click on an .exe file to extract the WordPerfect and graphics files it contains. Each chapter is a separate .w51 file.

The graphics are not embedded in the files and must be imported, using the appropriate commands of your word processing software. Consult the word processor user manual for instructions if necessary.

Make the files "Read Only" to protect their integrity in a networked environment.
