Customising PDF pages (1 of 2)

If you want to customise any of thepages from the Tutor Resource File, youcan copy and paste the text and imagesinto Microsoft® Word (or another wordprocessing application). You need to beaware that the order of text can beaffected when you paste PDF files into aword processing document, so it is bestto copy blocks of text rather thanattempting to copy a whole page at atime.

Selection toolsThere are two selection tools that allowyou to copy items from the PDFdocuments:

Select Text Tool

Snapshot Tool

It is advisable to use the Snapshot Toolto copy any elements you do not wantto alter (e.g. tables, images and, inparticular, formulae and symbols), thenuse the Select Text Tool to copy onlythe text you want to alter. This willremove the need for reformattingtables.
