Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General - Adobe Acrobat:

• Can I save text from PDF documents? How?

  • You can save text from Adobe Acrobat (PDF) documents. Simply click on the ABC button on your Acrobat toolbar, then highlight the text you wish to save. Under "Edit" in your menu, click on "Copy". Then in your Word or WordPerfect, click on "Edit", then "Paste Special", then choose "Unformatted text" and "OK".
  • If you find you can only highlight and copy one page at a time, simply change your default under "File", "Preferences", and "General". The "Default Page Layout" box can be changed from "Single Page" to "Continuous" to allow you to highlight as many pages as you need.
  • Please Note: If you are saving text from an Adobe document on the internet, follow the instructions above with one exception. Instead of choosing "Edit" and "Copy" to copy text, simply choose the Overlapping Pages button on the Adobe toolbar.

Statutes and Regulations product:

• QUALISULT’s Statutes and Regulations product is so inexpensive -- "What is missing?"

  • JUSTICE Canada’s information is available from CCG/DSS: CD-ROM - $225, Gazette Part II - $67.50/year, Gazette Part III - $28.50/year, and recent Acts - $ varies/page. JUSTICE Canada permits publishing of Legislative and Legal information
  • Ontario’s information is available from the Queen’s Printer: CD-ROM - $175, Gazette - $126.50/year, and Bills $68/year. Ontario* permits publishing of Legislative information.
  • Alberta’s CD-ROM product is available from the Queen’s Printer Edmonton for $447 per year (quarterly updates included). Alberta’s information is reproduced under licence.
  • The data on the Governments’ CD-ROMs is on QUALISULT’s CD-ROM, but QUALISULT augments Canada and Ontario* information with recently published information.

• How current is the data?

  • QUALISULT’s Canada CD-ROM information is maintained up-to-date. (Internet data is updated weekly!) QUALISULT’s Federal and Ontario Legislative information is more current than either Canada or Ontario's CD-ROM products. QUALISULT’s Alberta database is as up-to-date as Alberta’s product.

• What are the hardware and software requirements?

  • Your computer system must support WINDOWS 95/98/NT, have a SVGA monitor, at least a 4x CD-ROM reader, at least 16 Megs of RAM, and at least 25 Meg of hard drive available. The data can be read by most Wordprocessors.

• Is QUALISULT’s Statutes and Regulations product better than the other products?

  • Statutes and Regulations on JUSTICE’s and Ontario’s CD-ROM products consist of a couple of huge files, containing a large number of Statutes or Regulations.

  QUALISULT’s system treats files individually. QUALISULT’s system attempts to replicate the government CD-ROM information so QUALISULT’s Canada information also excludes the Income TAX Act. QUALISULT’s product, however, is augmented with recent Legislative information - including: Canada Gazette Part II and Part III/Acts issued after JUSTICE’S last Consolidation; recent Income Tax related legislation; and Ontario* 3rd Reading Bills and Regulations information issued after JUSTICE's last consolidation.

  Alberta’s CD-ROM product is similar to QUALISULT’s.

• If I don’t renew will I still have INTERNET access?

  • INTERNET access is only available to subscribers. Four to six weeks after your subscription expires you will be denied access to QUALISULT’s WEB Site.

• IMPORTANT NOTICE - QUALISULT obtains its CANADA and ONTARIO* legislative material and legal information directly from Justice Canada and the respective Queen’s Printer for Canada and Ontario. While QUALISULT has attempted to duplicate data and ensure its accuracy, no liability or responsibility is assumed for its accuracy, reliability, or suitability for any particular purpose. Reference should be made to original Canada or Ontario sources for the official version. - "The Statutes of Alberta and Alberta Regulations are produced under Licence from the Province of Alberta. The QUALISULT publication contains reproductions of the Statutes of Alberta and Alberta Regulations, but the official Statutes and Regulations published by or under the authority of the Queen’s Printer of Alberta should be consulted for all purposes of interpreting and applying the law."
