Having Trouble Viewing Slip Opinions?
All of the slip opinions on our web site are in Portable Document Format (PDF). This is a format which retains the look of the original document and is an open standard viewable on most computer platforms. We recommend using the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader software, which is available as a free download for Windows and Macintosh from Adobe’s website.
There are known incompatibilities between previous versions of Acrobat Reader and Microsoft’s latest browsing software, Internet Explorer 5.5 and Internet Explorer 6. (Windows XP comes with IE 6). These can be overcome by upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat Reader 6, as these incompatibilities are fixed in that version. If you are unsure of the version of either Internet Explorer or Acrobat Reader, you can find out by launching the application and selecting “About...” from the “Help” menu.
In addition, we have observed that a feature in
Acrobat Reader is incompatible with a small number of our slip opinions. It is
very easy to fix by changing an option in Acrobat Reader’s preferences:
 | Launch the Acrobat Reader application. |
| Select “Preferences” from the “Edit” menu. |
| In the window that appears, there are several categories of preferences in the pane on the left. |
| Choose “Options.” If you are using Adobe version 6.0, select "Internet" |
| You will see a number of options on the right side of the window. |
| If the option called “Allow Fast web viewing” is checked, then un-check it by clicking your mouse pointer on the checkbox. |
| Click “OK” and you should be able to view the slip opinion without trouble. |
