There are two levels of Read more/Read less in the document. The first level has an orange triangle to the left of the blue Read more link, when you click on the link the additional text is revealed and the link text says Read Less. The orange triangle is still to the left of the Read less link.

The second level of Read more/Read less is inside the first level and has a black downward caret with an orange Read More link. When the Read More link is selected the additional text is revealed and the caret changes to an upward caret. Once the Read More link has been selected the text changes to black. The text is still Read More.

Open the section of interest. Right click on the link for the second section of interest. Select “Open link in a new window with navigation”. This approach works for any link you wish to view in a separate window.
