Navigation

To navigate to a particular Topic, click on the "coursemap" button located at the bottom of the toolbar. Once you've clicked on the "coursemap" button, you will be presented with a list of Sections and their corresponding Topics. Click on a Topic link to enter that Topic.

Once inside a Topic, you can use the Next and Back buttons (left arrow and right arrow buttons), located at the top of the toolbar, to navigate through the Topic. If you wish to go to a specific page, press the "go to" button for a list of pages in the current Topic.

You may also go back to previously viewed pages within the course, by using the "history" button on the toolbar. The "history" button presents you with a list of the 15 most recently visited pages. As you progress through the course, you will build a history of visited pages, which you can go back to using this button.

Fonts

This course uses style sheets extensively in order to neatly position text on the page. If you have your browser settings configured to override font formatting, the course pages may display text in an erratic manner. Therefore, before running the courseware, make sure you have font formatting turned off in Internet Explorer's browser accessibility settings. Otherwise the courseware's text may not be displayed in an acceptable manner.

Printing

To print the screen in Explorer® 4.0, right click on the right half of the screen (not over an image) and choose "Print" from the popup menu.

To print the screen in Explorer 5.0 or higher, click on the PRINT button on the toolbar.
