open up either the table of contents and/or the author index, and use you web browser's
search capabilities to look for a specific sequence of characters on the web page.

contents of the individual .pdf files.

All indexes and tables of contents are hyper-linked to the individual papers. Once you
have found the necessary paper, click on the name or page nuber, and the file will be
accessed through adobe acrobat.

Adobe Acrobat Index Tool. To access the tool, while in Adobe Acrobat,
pull down the `Tool' menu and select `seacrch > query' from the acrobat menu.
This will pull up a panel (named Adobe Acrobat Search)
 which will ask you for which words you wish to search for.

need to add the ICRC index to the Acrobat Search database. While

allows you to add additional indexes to be searched. Click on

or X:/root/index.pdx  where X; represents the path to your

will now contain a new index call 26th ICRC Proceedings Index.
Click OK on this panle an you are ready to search the .pdf
files of the ICRC proceedings for whatever characters the files may contain.

generally files which were bitmap scanned in from hardcopy.
