How-To: Downloading State-Specific Resources for your One-Stop Planner

For Windows/Internet Explorer

 What do I do?  What does it look like?

1a. Insert your One-Stop Planner disc

1b. Launch One-Stop Planner

1c. Click on "State-Specific Resources" on the hub screen


2a. Your default browser will open and display a map

2b. Click on your state on the map

(please note that if clicking your state does not result in the browser opening a new page, there are currently no state-specific downloads available for your state for your One-Stop Planner)

3. Click the "Windows" link of the resource you are looking for
4. In the "File Download" dialog box, click "Save"

5. In the "Save As" dialog box, choose a location on your computer from the drop-down menu, then click "Save"

(please note that most systems default the download location to the desktop)

6a. If the "Download Complete" window remains open after the download completes, click "Open Folder"

6b. Or, if the "Download Complete" window automatically closes itself, locate and select the downloaded file

7. From the "File" menu, choose "Open with WinZip"
8. Click on the "Extract" icon and choose a location for the extracted files. A new folder will now appear in the same location as the original downloaded file
9. Locate and open this new folder, and then the subfolder labeled with the file format you want to use (e.g. "pdf" for Acrobat, "word" for Microsoft Word, etc)
10. Open the document that you want to view/edit, or install the desired application. To install an application, double-click on the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: State-specific resources in Word or PDF format are not accessible from the One-Stop Planner discs.
