1. WHAT'S IN THIS ELECTRONIC BOOK
 
The Trademark Registration Kit is a file you use with
software programs that are already installed on your computer.
When you successfully expand the archive file TREGC.ZIP, save it
to a folder or directory on your hard disk (we recommend saving
it to C:\TradeKit). Since this is not a software program in and 
of itself, you will not run a set up or create icons, and no 
icons or program groups are added to the Start menu (Windows 95),
Program Manager (Windows 3.1) or your computer's desktop 
(Macintosh).
 
The expanded archive contains all components of this electronic
book:

* README.TXT, the instructions on how to use this product (which 
you are viewing right now).
* TradeKit.PDF, the main file with the contents of this 
electronic book. This file is in PDF format (portable document
format) and must be used in conjunction with Adobe's Acrobat 
Reader 3.01 or higher (see below).
************************************************

2.  REQUIREMENTS FOR USE

You will need Adobe's Acrobat Reader 3.01 or higher to open, 
read, and print out TradeKit.PDF (the main file). Acrobat Reader is 
available for all types of Windows and Macintosh systems. If you
don't already have this software, you can download it for free at
www.adobe.com. 
************************************************

3. HOW TO VIEW THIS ELECTRONIC BOOK USING ACROBAT READER

A. Opening the Book

Find the main file TradeKit.PDF in the directory/folder you 
created when you initially expanded the Zip archive file. The 
default folder is C:\TradeKit. Double-click the file
TradeKit.PDF. This should launch Acrobat Reader and open the 
electronic book.

B. Navigating Within This Electronic Book

1. Using The Table Of Contents (Bookmarks) 
When you first open the book, you will see the electronic table 
of contents at the left of the screen. Adobe Acrobat calls these
headings "bookmarks." By clicking on a bookmark, you can 
instantly jump to the corresponding page of the book. A triangle 
icon to the left of a bookmark indicates that it contains 
subheadings, which are also bookmarks. Clicking on a triangle 
opens and closes that bookmark to show or hide its subheadings.

2. Using Links
All chapter, appendix and URL references in this book are links, 
which means that by clicking on them you can jump immediately to
the indicated page or web site. Links are colored green to make 
them easily recognized. To use a link, select the "hand" tool by
clicking on the hand icon in the tool bar at the top of the 
window, or by selecting "Hand" from the Tools menu. This will 
turn the pointer into a hand. Move the hand over the linked text
until it turns into a pointing hand. Clicking will take you to 
the indicated page, or in the case of a URL, clicking will 
launch your web browser and take you to the indicated web site.
To return to the page you linked from, see "4. Retracing Your 
Steps" below.
NOTE: The URL links have been provided for your convenience 
and all tested prior to publication. However, things 
change rapidly and without warning on the Internet, so we 
can't guarantee that all URLs are still live.

3. Viewing the Book Page by Page
To go to the next page, do one of the following:
  --  Click the Next Page button in the toolbar.
  --  Press the Right Arrow or Down Arrow.
  --  Choose View > Next Page.
To return to the previous page, do one of the following:
  --  Click the Previous Page button in the toolbar.
  --  Press the Left Arrow or Up Arrow.
  --  Choose View > Previous Page.
To move one screen at a time, do one of the following:
  --  Press the PageDown key, Enter, or Return to move forward.
  --  Press the PageUp key, Shift + Enter, or Shift + Return to 
	go back.

4. Retracing Your Steps
To retrace your viewing path:
  --  Click the Go Back button on the toolbar, or choose View > 
	Go Back to return to the previous page, or press Ctrl + -.
C. Finding Specific Text

To find part of a word, a complete word, or multiple words of 
text:

1. Click the find tool on the toolbar, or choose Tools > Find. 
Within the Find dialog box you can choose any combination of the
following options:
  --  Match Whole Word Only specifies ignoring words that are 
        contained within the text you enter. For example, the 
        word stick would not be highlighted if you chose to find
        the word sticky.
  --  Match Case specifies finding only those words that contain 
        exactly the same capitalization as you entered in the 	       
	  Find dialog box.
  --  Find Backwards specifies starting from the current page and 
        searching backwards through the file. Find Backwards is 
        helpful if you want to find a term you passed earlier in
        the document.

2. In the Find What text box, enter the text to be found and 
click Find. When the program finds the text, the Find dialog box 
closes and the page containing the text is displayed with the 
text highlighted.

3. To find the next occurrence of the word, press Ctrl (Windows
and UNIX) or Command (Macintosh) +G, or reopen the Find dialog 
box and click Find Again. With Windows, pressing F3 also finds 
the next occurrence of the word. If you start the process on any 
page other than the first page, you will be prompted to loop 
around to the beginning of the document.

D. Changing the Screen Magnification

You can change the screen magnification in a variety of ways. 
Acrobat Reader offers several magnification levels that 
automatically make the page fit on the screen:
  --  Fit Page causes the entire page to fit within the main 
       window. To use this option, click on the Fit Page button 	 
	 on the toolbar.
  --  Fit Width causes the page to fit the width (but not 
       necessarily the height) of the main window. To use this 
       option, click on the Fit Width button on the toolbar.
  --  Fit Visible fills the window with the page's text and 
       graphics.

You can also use the zoom tool on the tool bar or the 
magnification box in the status bar to directly select the 
magnification as a percentage of the page's actual size.

To increase magnification, do one of the following:
  --  Select the zoom tool (in the tool bar) and click on the
        document page to double the current magnification, or
  --  Click the magnification box in the status bar, and choose a 
        magnification level. If you choose Zoom To, type in the 
        magnification level and click OK.

To decrease magnification:
  --  Click the magnification box in the status bar, and choose a 
        magnification level. If you choose Zoom To, type in the 
        magnification level and click OK.

Online Guide" from the "Help" menu.
