FOUR STEPS TO DOWNLOAD THE ACROBAT READER
AND THE GEOMETRY OF DIALOGUE

Step 1:  Begin by bookmarking this page so that you can return to it easily.  (Some parts of the download process may take you to other pages, removing these instructions from view.)  If you are not familiar with bookmarks and/or favorites, write down the address of this page so that you can return to it to complete various steps.  The address is http://www.newconversations.net/geodial_c.htm

Then, to make your downloading process much easier, open this page in printer-friendly format (click here) and make a printed copy of these instructions.

Step 2:  If you already know that you have Adobe Acrobat on your system, please go to Step 4, below.  Otherwise, confirm the presence or absence of the Acrobat Reader on your computer:  The Geometry of Dialogue is downloadable to any computer that can run the Adobe Acrobat reader (which is available free from Adobe Systems and runs on most popular operating systems.). If you have not yet used the Acrobat Reader on your system, check to see if it is already installed.  If you do not yet have the Acrobat Reader on your computer, please go to Step 3, below, download the software and install it.  

STEP 3:  Install the Adobe Acrobat Viewer, if not present.

A.  Click here to download Acrobat Reader (5MB)
Select the appropriate Windows, Mac or Unix version on the
Adobe download page. (This may take from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection.  Do not click any other links while waiting for the software to download, as that will cancel the download process.) Write down the directory or folder in which you save  the downloaded program file)

B.  Install: The Acrobat software package will require a
simple installation process:  Log off the internet and close
all applications.  Find the downloaded program file and
double-click on it.  At the end of the installation process
you may need to reboot your computer.  After rebooting,
go online again, come back to this page:
www.newconversations.net/geodial_c.htm
and continue with STEP 5, below.

STEP 4: To download The Geometry of Dialogue PDF file
click on the link below:

Download book in Acrobat PDF format (1.5MB)
(This may take from 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection.  Do not click any other links while waiting for the book to download, as that will cancel the download process.) Your browser should launch Acrobat, which will allow you to view, print and SAVE(very important) the  book in PDF document format.  As soon as the file is completely downloaded, use the Adobe Acrobat SAVE button (not the browser's save button) to save the file on your hard drive -- and keep it from disappearing from your computer as soon as you surf to any other page.

If your browser does not launch Acrobat, it should allow you to save the PDF e-book document on your hard drive for later viewing with the Acrobat Viewer.
