Screenreader users should ignore the next comment.
You will still be able to access all the essential content of this page, but it will not look, or function, as intended. For further information go to the Viewing page, in the Welcome section of this web site.
Ignore the previous message about browser versions as that does not apply to you. The important content here is the text and you should be able to access that without difficulty. The links are also attached to items of text, so should be easy to follow.
Your screenreader should find all the text content of this page first. It will find the site navigation menus next. You can use this link to go straight to them from here: Site Navigation Menus. Unless an image appears within the text it can safely be ignored. Your screenreader should also find comments that help you use this page.
This page is designed to look like a card index and appears to be made of textured paper. The main part of the page is lemon-yellow, other parts of it are pale blue. It has tags across the top and cut out shapes down the left hand side. The links appear to be written on these. The Bridging the Gap logo is at the top. This shows through a cut out section of the page.
For further information on access go to the Accessibility page in the Welcome section of this web site.

This web site's pages will look and function as intended, at a display setting of either 800 x 600 pixels, or 1024 x 768 pixels. This should satisfy most users. They will also work at 640 x 480 pixels, although some non-functional elements may not be fully on the page. Where other screen settings are employed, the text should readjust to fit the screen size, but it may be necessary to scroll the page sideways to use all its features. This may occasionally be necessary at 640 x 480 pixels also.
Display settings may be altered, if necessary, through the control panel of your computer (when using Windows 95 or Windows 98). To do this click on "Control Panel" on the desktop, or locate it in "My Computer" and click on it there. Next click on "Display" and then on the "Settings" tab to alter the image size. This may also be accomplished from the system tray at the bottom right of the screen. You may have to restart your computer to properly establish the new setting. Make a note of your original settings in case you want to restore them. If in doubt seek assistance from someone who is suitably qualified or experienced.
The button pointers that follow appear on most pages. These form a History Navigator that can take you backwards and forwards through your viewing, or return you to the top of the page. How they function depends on how you have previously viewed the pages.
