Viewing the Chimes
If you have problems downloading of viewing The Chimes, here are some
tips that should help:
- The Chimes is a BIG file. This is not a problem if you have
cable or DSL internet service, but if you use a dial up line where
you computer must dial in to connect, your connection speed may be
so slow that The Chimes could take 10 to 15 minutes to download and
display. If this is the case, there is no easy answer to the
problem, but you can call the office and request a hard copy be
mailed to you.
- I do not see the current issue listed on the Newsletter Page.
Although rare, some computers will store an old page and will not
look to see if there is a newer page available. On your
"tools" menu, click "Internet Options." In the
new box, select "Delete Files" and check off
"Delete all off line content" then click OK. To fix the
problem, click on "Settings." Under "Check for newer
versions of stored pages" click "Every time you start
Internet Explorer." Click OK and return to the home page http://www.trinityambler.com/
Now, open the Newsletter page. You should now see the most recent
page.
- The Chimes Downloads but will not open. The Chimes should
automatically download and open in your current window. If, when you
click on the current issue of The Chimes, you are asked if you want
to "Download" or "Open" the file, select
"Open." If you are then asked to select a program to use,
select "Adobe Acrobat Reader." If Adobe is not on
your list, then it is possible that it was never installed on your
PC. Most computers come new from the store with the Adobe Reader
installed as it is a very common way to view files. If your's did
not, you can go to http://www.adobe.com/
and get a free copy of the program.
- I can view the Chimes but can not get it to print. The
Chimes opens up in an Adobe window that is inside your Browser. You
must use the "print" Icon inside the Adobe Window and NOT
the printer Icon for your browser. The Adobe print Icon can be found
on the Adobe toolbar is located right at the top of The
Chimes. If you still can not get The Chimes to print, try
downloading the copy first. To do this, go to the main
Newsletter/Chimes page and right click on the issue you want. Next,
select "Save Target as.." or, "Convert link target to
Adobe PDF." You will be prompted where to save it. (The normal
default is "My Documents") Click Save. Once done, you can
open the file by double clicking the icon in your "My
Documents" folder.
- Nothing happens when I click on the current Issue. If this
is the case, often the problem is that your Firewall or security
settings are blocking access to the page, or pdf type files. As all
Firewall programs handle this differently, please consult you owners
manual for your firewall program. Look for the chapter on blocked
files or blocked web sites.
- If all else fails, remember you can always request a copy be
mailed to you.
