Computer tools to make life easier
for CT AMC Committee members

Listed below are links to programs that may solve problems for those who cannot open email attachments sent to committee members. If you can presently open email attachments, then these programs ARE NOT NEEDED! All of these programs are free for personal use and are designed to run on computers running Windows 95 or newer. If you do not have Microsoft Word or Excel on your computer, download and install the appropriate program to open and view these files.

Viewers for files commonly sent by email:

Document Type	Program Needed	Where to get it
Microsoft Word (minutes, etc.)	Word viewer	download here (3.8 Mb)
Microsoft Excel (treasurer's report)	Excel viewer	download here (3.8 Mb)
PDF (portable document format)	Adobe Acrobat	www.adobe.com/products/acrobat

Download hints:

• Download files to your Desktop so you can find them. Once you run the installer, you can delete the file from the desktop to free the space on your hard drive.
• AOL downloads files to a special folder. Look for the file there using AOL.
