Instructions for First Time Web Browsers

Congratulations for making it this far! Once you understand how a web site works, you are well on your way to exploring any web site. It's really that simple.

To help you on your way, there are a few basic commands you need to know.

1. INDEX FINGER SYMBOL - Whenever you see the symbol of a hand with the index finger pointing, this means there is more information available on the topic the finger is pointing to. Simply click with your left mouse button and you will automatically go to additional information. To return to the previous page, either use the "Back" key at the top of your screen, or click on the right mouse button when the mouse is anywhere on the current page. This will give you the option of going back one page.
    

2. BUTTONS - Buttons take you directly to the information cited on the button. Simply put your cursor on the text in the button, the index finger symbol will appear. Click and you are linked directly to a new page, which means that the new page will come up on your screen. The "HOME" button will always return you to the first page of this web site.
    

3. COLORED UNDERLINED TEXT - Anytime a word or phrase is in colored type and underlined, this is a direct link either to information on this web site or a link to another site. Place your cursor over the set of colored underlined words, click on the left mouse button and you'll be linked to that page.
    

4. PRINTING - Use the command button at the top of your screen to print pages from our web site. Always wait until a page is completely loaded (is on your screen) before you try to print it, or you will print only that portion of the information that was loaded when you hit the print command. Heavy usage of the internet or pages that are graphic intensive often take longer to load. The speed of your modem and computer also impact loading time.   ***Before printing, you may also need to click on the part of the screen where the page you want to print is located.
