   • If the size and spec match, go to step 5.
   • If the size or spec do not match, in the Select Size and Spec dialog box, do the following:
     • Under Spec, click a spec (for example: CS150).
     • Under Size, click a size (for example: 4”).

       Note: If the size you want is not available, you can specify a substitute that you can correct later. Unless you are sure that your choice is accurate, do not select the check box labeled Always Substitute the Selected Size For [size].
