Use Interactive Third Edition Volumes and Index/TOA  The Index/Table of Authorities (TOA) for the third edition has links connecting a word in the index or a citation in the TOA to the location of that word or citation within a volume. Volumes I and II also have links to each other and the Index/TOA. For these links to work, download the files to the same folder or directory on your computer. The third edition Index/TOA does not work with the Annual Update to Volume I of the third edition.

Here’s how:
1.     Download this file ( ZIP ) (8.3 MB)
2.     Extract the three files (Volume I, Volume II, and the Index/TOA) to one folder.
3.     Open any file and use the links to jump to the others.
