NPAC Web Site Browsing and Downloading Tips


NetscapeTM 3.0 or higher or Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM 3.0 or higher are recommended browsers for viewing the NPAC web site. To minimize download time and bandwidth usage, click on the .zip link and unzip the file (WinZip and PKZIP are common utilities for this) once you have saved it on your system. To directly download a .doc (or any other type) file, right click on the link and then follow the prompts to save the file to the location of your choosing.

  3. Scroll down to Microsoft Project Exchange File (MPX)
  4. Click on Edit ...
