There are four types of file formats that we use to distribute our publications on-line:

Adobe Acrobat PDF

Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is the alternate format to our standard PDF format.  Microsoft Word files can be viewed with the free Word Viewer 2003. This viewer is also compatible for Macintosh users.
