Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a way to do that as when the Sample is displayed in the browser you’re actually opening the file, not viewing a website that can be coded with buttons. I will make a note on the Samples Page to warn people that to get back to the main Memindia site you’ll need to use the ‘Back’ button of your browser. You also remind me that I should also put a note on the Sample Page to indicate how to download the file to the local computer for those that might not be familiar with things like ‘right click on the link, select Save As…’ and such.
Thanks for the helpful feedback!
