   1. Click Open - The document opens in the appropriate application (i.e. Microsoft Word or Excel). There may be a short delay for the document to open, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your computer.

   Once the document is open, it is possible to navigate via the links in the document to other related documents and to the Document Reference Guide file, where provided.

   ****Note that the Document Reference Guide is the file version, which provides access to all documents in the Quality Documents program. Depending upon your system setup, accessing a number of documents may necessitate closing some of those documents to speed the access to additional documents.

   2. Click Save - The Save As dialog box opens. Navigate to the desired hard drive location and select Save.
