Introduction
First consideration in the design of this Website has been given to visitors who use a Screen
Reader—those who may be blind, have impaired vision, or for some other reason, use a reader.
Equal consideration has been given to assist those with impaired vision by using a Bold
Sans-Serif typeface throughout the Website. Words that may otherwise have been underlined,
bolded, or Italicized are enlarged to the next size instead. Windows users with a properly
functioning wheel mouse may enlarge or shrink the type size by holding down the control key and
rotating the wheel. Both Word and WordPerfect provide greater enlargement than Windows. If further
enlargement is required, the page may br copied and pasted into one of them to take advantage of
the greater enlargement.
To provide easy navigation throughout the website, links to other pages are displayed in the same
two horizontal bars across the top of every page. They extend close to the edges of the screen,
are approximately three eights of an inch high, and divided by vertical bars into cells
containing the page names. Users of screen readers may hear the primary and secondary bars as
one long bar. They may be easily found from anywhere on a page by pressing control+home. Please
email any suggestions as to how navigation throughout the Site might be improved to the
Webmaster.
