The page is very large and will have to be moved. But a few tricks may be
helpful. Using Adobe Reader [the program the newpaper will open in],
pushing the function button F11 at the top of the computer will take the
newspaper to its fullest size on the screen. Unfortunately, this will still
not make the paper fully visible. So, use the icon with the little
magnifying glass that has a + plus sign in it until the script is more
legible. If you mouse has a scroll button in the middle, simply scroll up
or down to read the left or right side of the page, then use the slide bar
at the bottom of the page to move either to the left or right and continue
the process.
I might also note that to save time, the search mechanism on the first page
is very good and will not only tell you what it finds, but allow you to go
directly to that page without having to review each edition.
