How to install a plug-in
Visit the installation page for the plug-in you wish to obtain
and follow the instructions given.
Once installed, often you will have to restart your system to
make the plug-in active.
Plug-ins are generally free and as a casual user you should
never have to buy jazzy versions: the free versions will do
everything you want.
Finally, if you are using a slow internet connection and find
that it takes a very long time to install plug-ins, or if you are
worried about big phone bills, then you can often obtain the
programs on disk by purchasing popular computer magazines.
Many of the magazines have cover-mounted CD-Roms carrying
up-to-date versions of all the most popular plug-ins.
