5) To access the Individual Section

  1. Following is a list of the additional features available with the use of Lotus Notes Desktop / Client 4.6 or 4.6a:
    The format of the text of the Laws more closely parallels that in the publications of the Government Logistics Department.
    Both languages of a section can be viewed on screen at the same time.
    Sections retrieved in a search can be sorted into "Chapter" and "section" order.
    Searched words are automatically highlighted.
    Sections can be previewed at the bottom of the screen without having to open the section.
    An alphabetical listing and count of all of the words used in the Laws can be viewed.
    Users can specify that a search will return common variations of terms. For example, a search for [canopy] will return [canopy] as well as [canopies].
  2. However, using Lotus Notes to access BLIS has the disadvantage that Notes access is slower in performance than browser access due to the greater amount of data that Notes downloads to your PC. Therefore, if you are not concerned about the above features, or you just want to have a quick reference to the Laws of Hong Kong, you may prefer to use a web browser to access BLIS.
  3. To access BLIS with Lotus Notes, users should set up their Lotus Notes Desktop Client 4.6 or 4.6a as explained in the manual [Setup Guide for Accessing BLIS on the Internet with Lotus Notes [format: zip]].
  4. Users should also refer to the document [Using BLIS on the Internet with Lotus Notes [format: zip]] for instructions on how to use Notes to operate BLIS.
