Navigating the Monarch Watch Web site:

The "Gulliver" graphic at the top left of each page will always be the quick way back to the home page. When you click on any section of the site listed on the home page, subsections will be listed in the left-hand margin. Use these links to navigate within a section and then return to the home page to visit other sections. Links to Home, Help, Search, and Order may be found on each page (except the home page) in two places: the top right hand corner, and below the subsection links in the left-hand margin. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about the Web site's new design, please feel free to drop the webmaster a line anytime.

What the heck is a PDF file?!

This little icon tells you that you are about to access a PDF file. We provide many of our materials in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) so that it is both easy (theoretically) and convenient to access information. If you do not already have Adobe's Acrobat Reader, you may download it the most current version (5.0) FREE from their web site:

Once you have the reader, you will be able to view, navigate and print any PDF document that you come across on our (or any other) site. If you are having problems getting the reader to work with your browser, Adobe provides a detailed "Getting Help" section on their site dedicated to the Acrobat Reader. If, after checking out Adobe's site, you are still unable to view PDF files, send me an Email and we'll try to work it out.

Be sure to check out CNET's BROWSERS.com for the latest releases of the most popular browsers and plug-ins in addition to lot's of tips and tricks to help make your online experience more enjoyable.
