Help and usage tips
Here are a few tips that will make it easier to use our website. Many of the tips are also valid for other websites.
Text size
This website uses relative font sizes, which means that the text size is adjustable with every web browser's built-in functionality. The method for changing text size varies depending on which web browser you use. If you don't know which web browser you're using, the name can usually be seen at the top of the window or in the menu bar.
In most web browsers it is possible to change the text size or enlarge the entire page. If you are unsure how to do this in your web browser the information should be available in the browser's help menu.
New windows
In general, links do not open in new windows. Exceptions exist for certain document formats, for instance PDFs. If a link is opened in a new window it is clearly marked.
Should you wish to open a link in a new window or a new tab yourself, you can right-click the link and select "Open in a new window" or "Open in a new tab". You can also hold down a key on the keyboard while clicking the link to open it in a new window or tab. Which key to press depends on your web browser and operating system, but the most common ones are Ctrl in Windows and Cmd (Apple) in Mac OS X.
Keyboard navigation
Should you have difficulties using a mouse it is often easier to navigate using the keyboard. In most web browsers this is done by using the Tab key to jump to the next link, and the Enter or Return key to activate a link. To jump to the previous link, hold down the Shift key while you press the Tab key.
Access keys
To assist keyboard navigation the following access keys are used on every page of this website:
- s Skip past navigation to the page's content (link within the page)
- 0 About this site
- 1 Start (home) page
- 3 Site map
- 7 Contact
Using access keys varies by web browser and operating system. In Windows they are commonly used by holding down the Alt key while pressing the access key and then pressing Enter. On a Mac it is the Ctrl + access key.
Shortcuts
When navigating using the keyboard, a mobile phone or a screen reader it can be tiring to jump through many links before getting to the main content on a page. To remedy this there is a link at the start of every page to skip past navigation and get straight to the main content.
Printing
This website uses style sheets (CSS) to allow web browsers to adapt the page for automatic printing. Therefore, it is not necessary to have a special version for printing. All you have to do is use your web browser's built-in print function.
On the printed page, menus and other navigation are removed, the text is set in a serif typeface and the text size is adjusted for printing.
If you wish to see what the printout will look like before you print it, select "Print preview" in your web browser or the print window.
