The Finance Staff provides its products
in a variety of electronic formats to provide access to users with varying
electronic capabilities. Some of these formats require interpreting
applications you need to install on your computer as plug-ins to web
browsers or stand-alone only applications.
Acrobat documents:
Using the portable document format (.pdf), Acrobat documents are
full electronic renderings of published documents including the text,
page layout and graphics that can be viewed and printed on any platform.
A free reader appropriate for your computer is needed to view an Acrobat
document. This reader can be used as a stand-alone or as a plug-in within
a web browser to view documents as they are downloaded from the Internet.
Instructions on using this software as a plug-in should be available
with your web browser.
Spreadsheets:
Many tables from our reports and some additional data are available
in the .wk1 and .xls format, readable by most spreadsheet software.
Applications that will read a wk1 or xls file can be used as a helper
application with many browsers. Instructions on using this software
as a plug-in should be available with your web browser.
ZIP archives:
In many instances, the spreadsheets or other files have been grouped
and compressed to speed downloads. These archival files are
presented in .zip format that must be expanded for use. Commercial
and free expanders are available for most platforms.
PowerPoint presentations:
Slide shows given at conferences and meetings are provided in PowerPoint
format. If you do not have PowerPoint on your computer, you can download
the free viewer from Microsoft.
