How to Link from an HTML Page to a Specific Page in PDF File 
HTML pages can contain links to PDF files that enable you to view the files by using an Adobe Acrobat 4.0-or-later product from within Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can also view the files by using the Acrobat product as a helper application in which PDF files appear in a separate Acrobat window. By default, the PDF file opens to the first page. To open the PDF file to a specific page, you can use named destinations in the PDF file. You can also target an HTML link to a specific PDF page by adding the page number to the end of the URL in the link. When you target an HTML link to a specific PDF page, however, the link works only when you view the PDF file within the browser.

How to Recover a Master Document
Notice how this article starts off with the cheerful assumption that you want to 'recover' a Master Document? I bet you were hoping that we would tell you how to 'fix' one! We can't. If you are having a problem with a master document, the problem is the master document. Any attempt you make to repair one will inevitably make your problem worse.

How to Select Your Web Conferencing Tool
New conferencing and collaboration solutions are being announced at the pace of one or more tools per week. New versions and upgrades are promoted even more frequently, and in this avalanche of "this is the best, don't look anywhere else" claims, it is hard to distinguish the good from the average. How should you select your web conferencing tool? Which companies are more reliable and how do you find out? How can you be sure you will not be disappointed? These are tough questions to answer, as there are a million vendors out there and an army of supposed experts all claiming to have the best solution while offering different ones.

How Word differs from WordPerfect
WordPerfect considers a document to be a 'type stream.' If you picture WordPerfect sitting on the end of the printer cable, sending characters one-by-one, and every now and again inserting a COMMAND to change what the printer is doing, you'll get the idea. For example, WP sends the commands for 'Arial' font and 'bold'. It then expects the printer to print every character that way until it tells the printer to do something else. Word, on the other hand, considers a document to be a 'container.' Within this container are more containers and, within them, still more. Into each of these containers, Word inserts objects. The objects can be bits of text, or bits of pictures, or complete files created by other applications.

Human Factors in Software Development: Models, Techniques, and Outcomes
We present the results of a survey designed to identify ways that human factors engineers have been successfully involved in software projects. Surveys describing successful and unsuccessful outcomes were returned by 14 human factors engineers and 21 software and documentation engineers at Hewlett Packard. In addition to describing the type of involvement and techniques used, respondents were also asked to define what they considered to be a successful outcome and give their views on what factors contribute to success or failure. The results of this study suggest ways in which the human factors/R&D partnership can be more effective in current development scenarios.
