You can access documents to read or print through the hyperlinks at the top of the page.  These hyperlinked pages will automatically appear in a new window.  When a new window is opened through a hyperlink, it may not be maximized (full size). You can maximize the top window on your screen by pressing F11 at the top of your keyboard.

 

To change the default size of new windows that are opened by hyperlinks: Open a new window with a hyperlink. Move your cursor to the bottom right corner of the window, where it should change into a different arrow. Hold down the mouse button and expand the window to your preferred size. Close the window by clicking on the x in the top right corner of the window.

 

There will also be hyperlinks in the documents, which will appear as either underlined text or the symbol ▲.  These hyperlinked pages normally appear in the same window that you are presently viewing. If you want to open document hyperlinks in a new window, right-click on the hyperlink and choose "Open in New Window" on the menu that pops up.
