ROMSEYNET SUPPORT PAGE

Adobe Acrobat Reader
This programme is required on your PC in order to view pdf pages. On my webpages a pdf Logo is shown wherever there is a page to be viewed in this format. Click on the link to obtain the free download. It is very simple and after download it works automatically when you click on an appropriate document, you do not need to find the programme to use it.

Tool tips
These are the small yellow boxes you should get when the mouse moves over pictures or animations used to decorate a page. (samples above) These are intended to advise people who may, for one reason or another not be able to see the actual picture / animation.

To enlarge the text in these tool tips -
Go to My computer / control panel / display / appearance.
In the 'item' bar it will say Desktop - below is a drop down list where you should find tool tip. Click on this to bring it up to the viewing bar.
The colour box will display the usual tool tip yellow and give the text as black and Tahoma font - the standard settings. You can now change these to whatever you wish - trial and error will tell you the font size you need for your particular eye sight. When you have altered each item to suit click on Apply and OK.
(N.B. this will also enlarge one or two information bars on your PC document windows.)

Accessibility
Some can be found from your Main Explorer window.
Click on Tools / internet options / advanced. Here you can check or uncheck the boxes for the following:

• Expand the text in the tool tip for images
• Underline the links
• Display or remove animations in web pages
• Use sounds or not
• Play videos or not

Changing the font size on webpages
The Help menu advises - go to View / text size and check the one you want. However I have found it doesn't make much difference! So I think you have to do the following to suit your particular needs BEFORE setting the aforementioned text size
Explorer window again - tools / internet options / accessibility and check the boxes you need. Hopefully you can then select a size accordingly on the View menu.

NOTE
However I have been informed it is probably easier to use a PC screen magnifier at home rather than changing most of these settings - except for removing sound if not required for those who are deaf, or if it hinders speech recognition listening. Animations may be annoying for those with vision difficulties.

Viewing the pages
Most of the webpages are designed to fit properly when viewed in a minimized window - some look better this way but all can be viewed as usual in the maximised window.
However the minimised window can be enlarged a little by the two headed arrow which appears if you put the mouse on any of the window edges. Sometimes this is all you need to do to 'straighten out' a line or two to make the information on the page 'look correct'.

Using the smaller windows keeps your desktop on view behind the web pages. Links to pages which are not given on the main navigation column will appear in a new window, which is displayed on top of the one you were originally looking at. When finished with this link, click it off and the page you were originally viewing will be on top again for you to continue reading.

Pages that are linked from Romseynet, but do not have a navigation column as on the main pages, will appear in a new, individual window, allowing you to click it off and return to your original page.
