Jumping around in the Tax Book Web CD

[PIGLEE]

I am having so much fun learning my way around the Web CD. It is like Christmas with a new toy. But I am having touble moving around. When I jump to a IRS Publication, I can not find a way to go back to The Tax Book, to the page where I was when I jumped to the Publication. The only way I know how to get back to The Tax Book is to find it on my desktop and reload it, and try and remember what page I was on. What am I missing?

I do have one suggestion for an improvement. In the Index of the Tax Book Web CD, I would like to see the reference to the page number in BLUE so we could jump to the page right away from the index.

As you can tell I like JUMPING.

I was having the same problem with all the links opening in the same window and no way from the IRS pubs back to the Tax Book homepage. I changed the settings in Adobe Reader under Edit...Preferences...General....and then unchecked the box beside "Open cross-document links in the same window"

Now when I click a blue link, it opens in a new Adobe Reader window and the original homepage stays open. Try this out and see if it helps.

The video under the help menu shows you how to turn on the previous arrow button, which works like the back arrow on your web browser.

Thank you! I would have never figured that out on my own. I was also having that problem.

Single window verses multiple windows

Opening all links in a new window is one way to do it. Problem is, for older slower computers you could run out of ram with too many PDFs open at once.

The program was designed to open all PDFs in a single window to prevent having your computer bog down. In doing that, you need the “Previous View” arrow in your tool bar at the top of the screen so that you can back out of a linked IRS Pub, form, instruction, etc., just like you would use the back arrow while browsing the web. Unfortunately, Adobe Reader does not default to displaying the previous arrow button. You have to put that on your tool bar.

To get the previous arrow button displayed on your tool bar, go to “Tools” (in the Adobe menu at the very top of the screen), then “Customize Toolbars”, then scroll down to “Page Navigation Tool Bar” and check all boxes.

Those are the main navigation arrows that will allow you to go back and forth to all the various page views without having to make the program open every link in a new window.

I think I will buy the CD site license. No more books.
