Grady Profile How-Tos
|
Each How-To is a small Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file containing pictures and instructions describing how to perform a specific task. Each is a self-contained illustrated procedure. You can use How-Tos on either Macintosh or Windows, as long as Adobe Reader (or some other PDF viewer) is installed on the machine.
Below is a list of the currently available How-Tos. Click on a title to download it. If your browser has the necessary support, it will open directly in a browser window; otherwise you may need to open the PDF file manually.
The list of available How-Tos changes rapidly, so check back often. You can request a How-To on a specific topic by sending an email to support.
