How to View the Trade Winds Newsletter and Special Reports

The Trade Winds files are easily accessible, but only via the use of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This is software that is downloadable free of charge from the net and is very easy to use.

1. Go to the Adobe Acrobat Reader download page and follow the instructions there for downloading the Adobe Acrobat Reader software on to your computer (about a 4000K file).

2. Once you have the software loaded, clicking on the newsletter of your choice will automatically load the Adobe Acrobat Reader in your web browser, and a FULL COLOR version of Trade Winds will appear on your screen. (This file size is normally 150-200K)

3. Using the Adobe Acrobat Reader is easy. Arrows along the top of the screen will take you forward or backward one page at a time, or you can use the scroll bar on the right side of the screen. Two "magnifying glasses" allow you to zoom in on a page (the magnifying glass with the "+") or zoom out (the magnifying glass with the "-").

4. The "Table of Contents" along the left allows you to quickly go to those articles of your own particular interest. Only want to see the article on soybeans? Clicking on "SOYBEANS" take you directly to the beginning of that article.

5. Within the individual articles, when the writer references a figure the words are in red. Clicking on those red words takes you to that figure and zooms in on it as well. Clicking on the figure takes you right back to the point in the article that you came from.

6. Hyper-links to other web sites noted within the newsletter are in blue. Clicking on them will take you to that site (just like "normal" web pages).

7. Printing the newsletter is as easy as clicking on the printer icon in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
