Using the Module Topics Guide The Module Topics Guide is an interactive catalog that provides a key to the TI-89 / Voyage™ 200 personal learning tool (PLT) modules. Use this guide to view content outlines of the modules that form the comprehensive guidebook. Search for key words and let the Module Topics Guide target a module for you. You can then click on a module's title to open it. You do not need the Module Topics Guide to open individual modules.
Use the Adobeë Acrobatë Readerë toolbar displayed in your web browser to search for a key word. (Most of the web browser's menu options and buttons have no affect on PDF files.) After locating a key word, click the title of the module containing the key word to open that module. See an example at Searching for a Key Word. Using this Module on the CD Use Adobe Acrobat Reader to search for a key word. After locating a key word, click the title of the module containing the key word to open that module.
If you want to use the Module Topics Guide to access downloaded files, be aware that: • If you download the Module Topics Guide to your computer, you must also download the related modules you want to access. Otherwise, you will receive an error message when you click a module's title. • The Module Topics Guide and its related modules must reside in the same folder on your computer. Otherwise, you will receive an error message when you click a module's title.
3. Click Find to locate the first occurrence of the word. 4. Click on the related module's title text to open that file. (You may need to scroll or use page up/down to locate the title.) – You can search the module you just opened for the key word circle or other words. — or — – Click (Go to Previous View) to return to the Module Topics Guide. You can search the Module Topics Guide for more occurrences of circle or other key words.
