Access Keys
Most browsers support site-defined keyboard shortcuts for activating specified links. On Windows systems, the usual method to invoke the keyboard shortcut is to press ALT + an access key. On Macintosh, press CTRL + an access key.
However, with the recent release of Mozilla Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), things have chaged a little. With Firefox, you need to press SHIFT + ALT + an access key. With IE7, you need to press ALT + an access key, then release them and press ENTER.
These are the access keys for this site:
| Access Key | Action |
|---|---|
| 2 | Skip navigation |
| 9 | Contact |
| 0 | Accessibility statement |
| 1 | Home |
Resizing Text
The following browsers have built in text resizing functionality:
- Internat Explorer 7: Page > Text Size
- Internet Explorer 6: View > Text Size
- Mozilla Firefox: View > Text Size
Alternatively, scroll the wheel of your mouse while holding down the CTRL key.
Finally, while holding down the CTRL key, press either the + key or the - key to increase or decrease the text size respectively.
PDF Files
PDF (Portable Document Format) files are used for information intended for download or for printing. There are a number of PDFs on this site. In order to view them, you will need a PDF reader. The most widely used is the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is a free download.
On this site, PDFs are opened in a new window (if your browser has JavaScript enabled), thus ensuring you don't loose your place should you accidentally close the window. If your browser doesn't support JavaScript, the PDFs will open in the same browser window.
To save a copy or to print the PDFs, simply use the relevent icon in the PDF reader. Should your browser not be able to open the PDFs, all the information contained in them is available elsewhere on the site and is printable through your browser, as explained below.
Printing
This website has been designed to be print friendly. That is, all the actual page content is printable, without the extraneous features such as the navigation, sidebar and page footer being visible.
