Finding Attachments    

While searching the documents, you will encounter e-mail messages, letters or other documents that refer to attachments by name or by description. Finding these attachments may involve a number of different strategies:

  • First look for documents "close" to the original - go to the previous and next documents by clicking on the Bates Number arrows located on the search results page, the document record page and the top of the PDF itself.

For further strategies, consult Finding Attachments
