TheLaw.net
Software is a proprietary browser that acts
as a front end to diffuse resources that
are otherwise web based. If you've used
Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape,
or AOL, or CompuServe, you've used a browser.
So there may well not be much to learn here.
Look at the top of the screen and you will
see a strip of buttons that begins on the
right with the NEW BUTTON. We will describe
each button's function below.
|
 |
NEW
BUTTON : Click the NEW BUTTON whenever
you want to open a new window. Opening a new
window makes a lot of sense if you want to,
for example, run Search B without losing the
results from Search A. Or perhaps you find
the statute that's driving your search and
you want to retain that controlling item in
the first window and execute your search for
opinions that have construed that item in
a second window. Does that make sense? If
not, give us a call or drop us an email and
we can run some sample searches together.

|
OPEN
BUTTON : This button allows you to open
text documents directly from your computer
so you can read them using TheLaw.net.
|
|
|
SAVE
BUTTON : This button allows you to save
any document directly to your computer. Any
document that is, except judicial opinions.
Judicial opinions are saved
differently.
|
|
|
PRINT
BUTTON : This button allows you to print
documents directly from TheLaw.net Software.
To learn how to have ultimate control over
printing parts or all of documents and to
learn how to print in two columns, click the
graphic on the right hand side of this page

|
|
COPY
BUTTON : Highlight any portion of the
text on any page and click the COPY BUTTON.
You can now paste the highlighted content
into Word or WordPerfect or into an email.
|
|
|
FIND
BUTTON : TheLaw.net's Find Function allows
you to scan a displayed document for each instance of
specified words/phrases. Click the FIND BUTTON,
enter the term you want to jump to, click
FIND NEXT and then FIND NEXT again and again
until you have scanned the document and paused
at each instance of the specified term..
|
|
|
BACK
BUTTON : This button returns you to the
previously viewed page. The Back Button maintains
a memory of each page visited within a particular
session. If you use the New Button to open
a new window, the Back Button will maintain
a separate memory for each open window.
|
|
|
RELOAD
BUTTON : This button will reload the page
you are viewing or attempting to view.
|
|
|
FORWARD
BUTTON : This button forwards you to previously
viewed pages. The Forward Button maintains
a memory of each page visited within a particular
session. If you use the New Button to open
a new window, the Forward Button will maintain
a separate memory for each open window.
|
|
|
LINKBAR
BUTTON : This button splits the screen
and provides for vertical navigation of TheLaw.net's
LinkBar. Click it to see what we mean!
|
|
|
HISTORY BUTTON :
Click this button and the History Bar will
appear, containing links for web sites and
pages visited in previous days and weeks.
|
|
|
VIEW
BUTTON : This button cascades any open
windows so that you can navigate back and
forth between any open windows. You would
only use the VIEW BUTTON if you have more
than one window open. Alternative "views"
can also be selected from the Windows Menu.
|
|
|
SETTINGS
BUTTON : You will probably never use this
button unless it is in the context of a technical
support session with us.
