5.    FAQs
     What do I do if a resource does not open when I click it?
      In most cases, clicking a resource opens that resource in the default application
       that you have set for your computer to associate with its file type. If a file does
       not open when you click it, check the default settings on your computer and
       make sure you have a program set to open the file type. (See the Help feature of
       your operating system for instructions on setting defaults for your computer.)
      If you have two or more versions of a program installed on your computer, you
       may have trouble opening a file even if you have the default set. For example, If
       you have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader installed and also have Adobe® Acrobat®
       Standard or Adobe® Acrobat® Pro installed, you may have trouble opening PDFs.
       Selecting Adobe® Acrobat® Standard or Adobe® Acrobat® Pro as the default
       handler for PDF files usually resolves the issue.

     What does the symbol      next to a resource icon mean?
      The symbol     next to a file icon indicates that a tooltip is available for the
       resource. Hover over the symbol to get more information.

     Why do I get a pop-up window when I click some resources?
      In some cases, when you click on a resource, a pop-up window will open. This
       window provides - more information about the resource. To access the resource,
       follow the instructions in the pop-up window.
