Downloading documents
Many of the documents on our website are available in PDF format. To view these documents you need the Adobe Reader software. If you don't have Adobe Reader, download it for free from the Adobe website.
Some of the documents on our website are available in Microsoft Word format. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you can download OpenOffice.org for free from the website.
All downloadable files will open in a new browser window.
AccessibilityAccessibility
In developing our website we aimed to make it usable for the widest audience, including those with visual and motor disabilities. A text-only version of the site is available from the top-of-page utility links.
Accessibility and PDFs
Most of the downloadable documents on our website are in PDF format. However, not all browsers can support Adobe Reader (required to access PDF files), and some accessibility devices and software struggle to cope with this format.
Therefore, we are now developing our website to improve accessibility for people who use this technology, by providing alternative formats for all PDF files that are made available on the website from July 2006.
For more information about accessibility and the PDF format, please visit Adobe’s accessibility website. You may also like to use Adobe’s free online conversion tool, which converts PDF files into text or HTML.
In the meantime, if you come across a PDF file that you cannot access properly, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs by providing the file in an alternative format.
Accessibility and design
Our website has been designed so that the display options you choose in your browser or operating system will overwrite our settings. In this way you can increase the text size, change colours, or make other changes to the way our website looks.
To change the text size in most web browsers, simply hold down the "Control" (sometimes labelled "Ctrl") or the Command key on a Mac, and press the '+' key.
Visit the BBC’s My Web My Way website to learn how to make changes to the way the Internet is displayed on your computer.
