| <p>To browse for available software and select add-ons to install in the |
| system (requires Internet access): |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click |

| <b>Help > Software Updates ...</b></a> and select the |
| <b>Available Software</b> page. This page shows you the items that are |
| available for installation.</li> |
| <li>By default, the items are grouped underneath each update site that |
| is available. The latest version of each item is shown, and items |
| that are already installed are not shown. You can change the way |
| that you browse add-ons using the following methods: |
| <ul> |
| <li>The view menu above the software list can be used to view the available |
| software by the item name, or by the software category, rather than by the |
| update site. This can be useful when you know the name of something but do not |
| know where it is located.</li> |
| <li>The filter box can be used to type part of the name of something that you are |
| looking for. The list of items will be filtered to only those matching the |
| text that you type. The first time you use this box, there may be a delay, because |
| all of the software sites must be contacted.</li> |
| <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether |
| all versions, or only the latest versions, of software are shown in the list. </li> |
| <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether |
| items that are already installed should be shown in the list.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>As you browse the available software, check the items that you wish to install. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <b>Install...</b> to install the checked items. You will be able to |
| review the items to be installed in the |
| <a href="tasks-124.htm">Install wizard</a>. |
