Tips for using this site
Acrobat Reader
To view the many files that make up the Financial
Administration Manual (FAM), you will need Acrobat Reader
installed on your computer. If you've ever viewed an Acrobat
file (PDF) in your web browser, then Acrobat Reader is already installed
properly.
If you need to install Acrobat Reader, contact your
systems support staff. They will tell you how to proceed.
Maximizing screen size
When reading FAM on-line on your computer screen, a good
portion of your monitor is taken up by tool and menu bars.
You can temporarily hide many of these with a simple
keyboard command. Use it once and the extra menus disappear;
use it a second time and they reappear.
In the current versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator, this keyboard command is F11.
Viewing Acrobat files in your web browser
When viewing FAM PDFs in your web browser, an Acrobat
tool bar is added to your screen. The following graphic
highlights
some commonly used features of this Acrobat tool bar.

Printing Acrobat files
When you install Acrobat Reader, it is preset to slightly
reduce the size of pages as they are printed. You should
turn this setting off.

Getting a hard copy of FAM
This manual is designed to work best on-line. FAM
on-line:
- will always be up-to-date;
- has a built-in search engine; and
- has many links to additional useful information.
If you want a hard copy of the entire manual, go to the
download page where the 150+
files that make up FAM have been combined into three files for
downloading and printing. Individual sections of FAM can be
printed as you are browsing FAM.
