Downloading
the Solutions Manual from the Web Site
for use with PageOut!
If you don't have a PageOut! Web site,
you can begin to set one up by visiting
http://www.pageout.net
and then clicking on "Getting Started."
Step One: Downloading
the Solutions Manual
- Visit
the Online Learning Center (OLC) associated with this text.
- From
the OLC, go to the Instructor Center, then select the chapter
you want and choose Solutions Manual. (You will
need to request a
User Name and Password the first time you
view the Solutions Manual.)
- Once
you choose the solutions to a chapter, you have the option to
download that chapter to a file.
- We
suggest you save the chapter as a Word document in the "My
Documents" folder on your computer. This
works best if you download
the complete file.
- Once
the chapter solutions have been downloaded, you can open the
file and simply edit the information by deleting
the chapter solutions
you're not going to use. Or you can opt to keep
the file as it is containing
all of the solutions.
- Now you have the
file saved on your computer as a Word file.
Step Two: PageOut!
- Log
in to your PageOut! Web site.
- On
the first screen that comes up after loggingin to PageOut!, there
is a "My Files" option.
- Click
on the "My Files" option.
- You
will now have the ability to search your computer for a file that
you can upload and attach to your PageOut!
session pages.
- To
initiat the process, click on the "Add a New File" button, then
click on the "Browse" button.
- Search
for the file, by telling your computer where the file is located.
If the file is a Word document saved in the
"My Documents" folder,
open the "My Documents" folder and highlight
the file.
- Once
the file has been highlighted, click the "Open" button.
- You
will see a file appear in the window in front of the
browser box.
- Now
click on the "Upload" button. (Uploading will take several
minutes.)
- Once
this step is completed, scroll down and click on the "Copy"
button.
- Now
the file will be copied from your computer to your PageOut!
site.
Step
Three: Attaching the file to a session
Skip to the Creating New Sessions instructions below if you don't
already have
class sessions set up.
So far so good? This process is very easy and can usually be done
in less than
five minutes. Ok, here's the conclusions:
- Select
the "My Course" Web sites option.

add the solutions to an existing session, click on the "Add/edit
Content" button nex to the appropriate session.
- From
this screen, you may add and or delete content to individual
sessions.
- Click
on the "My Files" menu option.
- Now
a list of all the files waiting to be attached to sessions is
displayed.
- Next
to each file, there is a little white circle. Click on the white circle
to place a dot in it.
- If
you scroll down just a little, there's a button marked "Add File to
Session." Click on it to add the file to the
session.
- Once
you've clicked the "Add File to Session," button, the system
will prompt you to name the file, (i.e. Solutions
to Chapter 1, etc...).
After you've named the file, click on the
"Save" option and the file will
be added to the chosen session.
- Now
students can view the chapter solutions without having to deal
with passwords.
- Also
while you're in the Adding Content section, notice the new
feature at the bottom of the left menu bar
that allows you to reorder the
content of the sessions.
- To
view the chapter solutions you've just added, first close the
Browser window.
- Then
click on the course link at the top of any page within the
Instructor's part of PageOut! The course
link is listed below the
words "Your Web Site Address" and generally
has your name as part
of the address.
- Click
on the appropriate course.
- Click
on the Syllabus link, go to the appropriate session and click on
the solutions file you've attached. After
a few seconds of loading, the
file will appear on the screen.
