list by clicking on the down arrow next to the "search by product titles".
The products could also be located by giving the name of the software and

have been configured as storefront boxes that could be clicked to download
the software quickly.
Step 5: A particular software can be
selected from the scroll menu or from the boxed icon as shown below.

Cart button.
Step 6: At this stage, additional software packages can be chosen
and added to the cart before checking them out. For this example, clicking
the "check out button" would complete the selection of software chosen for

Step 12: The downloaded "Microsoft Downloader" is now stored
in a folder. Click on the Downloader for OneNote 2007 and follow the
