Welcome to the New Times Reader.


Please contact us if you experience any compatibility problems.
This reader was built using a text editor and Netscape Composer, and tested on Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Acrobat:
All articles in this reader are in Adobe Acrobat format (PDF) and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in to be active in your browser.
To retrieve the latest version available click on the icon below (internet connection required):


or alternatively, the version of Acrobat which was the latest at the time of the release of this DVD has been supplied and can be installed by clicking here.

Visibility tips:
There are a number of things you can do to improve your reading experience:

Browser:
Use “Full Screen” mode by pressing the <F11> key  (all the menus and bars will be temporarily hidden).  Press <F11> again to resume to normal view.
If <F11> does not work, try clicking the browser frame first.  A “Full Screen” icon can also be added to the command bar.  

Reader:
Every time you open an issue of New Times, the document is presented in “Page Width” mode.  Hold down <CTRL> + 3 to zoom to the width of the text and <CTRL> + 2 to resume to Page Width.
If the control keys do not work, try clicking in the reader window first.  There are also some right mouse button controls.
You may also open an issue of New Times in a separate browser window by holding down the control key while selecting the issue in the menu.
Printing:
To print the currently displayed issue of New Times, hold down the right mouse button and use the print option there (this will most likely give better results than the print function of your browser).
Searching:
.. in the current file:
Hold down the right mouse button and select search.  A search panel will appear to the side of the text.

.. across all files:
This cannot be done within the New Times Reader itself, but can be accomplished in several ways:
  1. Run Acrobat independently, and use the full search tool (specifying the path to the New Times files).
    The first time you run a search across the New Times files, it takes a long time to generate the results.  However, Acrobat indexes the files so subsequent searches become very quick.
    This tool produces a list which can preview the files directly, or can be used merely as a way to find the required issues which you can then access in the New Times reader.
    NOTE: In order to maximise your search ability in Acrobat, the following settings should be used:
    In edit/preferences - search tab
       tick "Show document title in search results"
       set maximum number of documents to 1600
       tick "Enable fast find"
       set maximum cache size to 600 MB
  2. Windows search & indexing tools.
  3. Desktop Search Tool such as “Google Desktop” or “Copernic”.
    4. These Desktop Search tools are by far the fastest (much like the internet search engines of Google, Yahoo, etc.) and can be set to continuously index your entire computer.  All files and emails (including attachments) are searched and reported almost instantly!   If you are a serious researcher, a desktop search tool is a must!
