Can I print the entire Code?

No, you cannot, as printing is disabled. You can copy and paste excerpts into a word-processing application, such as MS Word.

To buy a printed copy of the document, please see NRC Virtual Store or NRC Construction Publications Ordering Information.

How can I copy extracts of the Code?

The publications in the CODES-GUIDES Online Library are copyrighted by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and protected by Canadian Copyright Law and international treaty provisions. Your right to reproduce portions of the documents is limited by the Licence Agreement: please read it carefully before copying extracts. Such extracts may only be incorporated into a single new document and must not be altered in any way that could affect their meaning. The source of an extract must be acknowledged.

You can copy document extracts (text, tables, figures, intent and application statements) into any word processing or clipboard software by highlighting the extract with the cursor and pressing the "Ctrl" and "c" keys simultaneously, or by selecting "Edit" then "Copy" from the menu bar.
