Access Keys
For those web users whose browsers support access keys, the web site
has been programmed so that the primary sections of the site are accessible
without the use of a mouse:
Internet Explorer
Hold down the ALT and the desired access
key simultaneously to take focus on the required link. Release both
keys, and press the Enter key. The new
page will load automatically.
Netscape Navigator
Hold down the CTRL and the desired access
key simultaneously. The new page will load automatically.
Text Size
Some users might find screen text easier to read by changing the size
at which text is displayed. To do this you should simply adjust your browser's
settings.
Internet Explorer
From the menu along the top of your browser, click View
then Text Size. From the fly out menu,
select a new text size from the range.
Netscape Navigator
From the menu along the top of your browser, click View
then Text Zoom. From the fly out menu,
select a new text size from the range. You can also change the text
