Mac User Guide for Textbook CD!!!!!!

MACINTOSH

QuickStart
1. Insert the StudentWorks(tm) CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Open the CD
3. Navigate to the appropriate sub-directory: Disc1|support|PDF or Disc2|support|PDF
4. Double-click on the swopen.pdf file, and StudentWorks(tm) will begin
launching, opening Acrobat Reader from the CD.

Note: If you have more than 8 megabytes of free memory, it is recommended that
you install Acrobat Reader to your hard drive so you can run StudentWorks(tm)
more efficiently. To install, close Acrobat Reader and follow the installation
instructions below:

-Open www.adobe.com in your web browser
-Click on the "Get Adobe Reader" icon
-Follow the prompts to complete the installation


Increasing Memory Allocated to Acrobat Reader (Macintosh)
This step is optional but may increase the speed of StudentWorks(tm) and
decrease out-of-memory errors experienced on certain computers.
1. Make sure the Finder is active. Then click Apple Menu in the upper left-hand
area of the screen and select About This Computer.
2. Note the amount indicated for Largest Unused Block.
3. Then locate the icon for Acrobat Reader on your hard drive. Click once on it.
4. Select File...Get Info>Memory in the menu.
5. In the Information dialog box, click on the pull down Show menu and select Memory.
6. In the Preferred Memory field, enter an amount that is approximately ten
percent less than the available memory noted in step #2. If you plan on running
other programs while Acrobat Reader is open, decrease the amount to accommodate
the other programs' memory allocations. Enter this amount in the Preferred Size
box. Keep in mind that to run the other programs concurrently with Acrobat
Reader, you may have to open them first.
