Help in using the Best News e-books   

This page describes the basic functionality of the Books and will help you to use them and enjoy their content.

 

Each book has a front and back cover, and just like any physical book, it has numbered pages. What these e-books have that physical books do not have, is the ability to use multi-media and pop-up capability.

 

Any part of any page is 'active' in that it can receive and will respond to 'mouse-clicks. In many cases, as you read the book and interact with it, you will click on a page to turn it. Click on the right hand page to go forward, and on the left hand page to go back. Pages of books can also have links and these links 'pop up' additional pieces of information usually relevant to the context in which you will find the link, and in the case of the Best News books, most of these links are identified by a yellow square with blue text on top. Simply click anywhere in the yellow zone, and the new information will pop up. There are one or two exceptions to this where yellow links would block out useful information (on maps or photographs), and here a single yellow box with blue text will indicate how to access the links.

 

Additionally each book has a toolbar. This toolbar provides access to additional functionality which we shall discuss later, but you can use this button to access it now.

 

So, starting with the front cover which is how the book is presented to you, click anywhere on it to open pages 1 and 2.

 

 

 

 

The left hand page - Page 1 contains assertion of any copyright, and details of how to contact us if you wish to use this book outside of standard copyright. It also gives you a link as access to our web site.

 

The right hand page is the Contents page. Each line of the contents page is a link in its own right and will, in this example, take you to each of the Chapters in the book, so by clicking on the line 'Chapter 2 - the Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost, the book will open at that page.

 

Let's use that in this example ....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have been taken to the title page for Chapter 2 entitled The Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost. and from the Toolbar at the foot of the Page, you can see that this is page 41.

 

By clicking anywhere on that page, you will turn it to pages 42 and 43.

 

Continue to click on the white space of the right hand pages until pages 46 and 47 are open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pages 46 and 47 consists of a number of different elements. There is text incorporating information and Bible verse quotations, and there is a graphic on page 47.

 

At the top of page 46, there is a link indicated by a yellow background on which there is blue text. Additionally, links have been placed on the graphic on page 47.

 

These links are activated merely by clicking on them. You can now view what happens when you click on a couple of them.

 

First, if you click on the link on Page 46, a graphic pops up showing the work of the Holy Spirit. See the next example.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can view the information on the graphic. You can even print it by clicking the printer icon next to the close icon. When you have finished looking at it, close the popup and continue reading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now let's turn our attention to the 'month of Sivan' graphic on page 47. Click on the link indicated on the left and 'Example 4' will pop up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again you can print the graphic or close it. When you close it, the book becomes active again. You can continue reading and turn the page by clicking on a part of the page that is not a link..

 

Now by clicking on the left hand page, or by going to the toolbar and clicking on the 'Go To' button and selecting Page 10 from the dropdown, you will navigate to the page in th next example.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click on the link indicated by the blue text (arrowed) - 'Click here for a panorama of Jerusalem', and a picture will pop up on the page. This picture provides information that will help you to locate areas that are dealt with in the context of the page, and, indeed of the Chapter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that you have become familiar with the basic navigational functions of the Best News e-books, we can investigate the functions of the Toolbar.
