You will receive an updated Keyword Index with every third Windows Advisor update. Simply add the new Keyword Index to your existing one, to ensure you are always up-to-date. Simply look through the list until you’ve found the subject you’re looking for. To the right of each term, you will see one or two columns of reference numbers. If an entry has only one reference column, this means that the article was published in the Windows Advisor manual. This reference will contain the letter and number of the article, followed by a second number which is the page of the article on which you will find the relevant information. If an entry has two columns, this means that the article belongs to a Windows Advisor update. In the second column, the first number refers to the number of the update, the second number to the year that the update was published, and the final number gives you a page reference within that update. For example: Alphabetical order B Backup - BIOS .................................B 13/1 7/11-13 - CMOS Settings.................B 2/11 Article number Page reference Page reference in Update Year of Update Update number If you are a new subscriber to the Windows Advisor you may notice that you do not have some of the articles listed in the new up-to-date index.
