Viewing and Printing Tips
 

Your Browser.  This site is best viewed in either Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and above or Netscape Navigator 4. Some interactive features on the site do not currently work on browser versions earlier than Explorer 4.0 or Navigator 4.0; and they do not work with Netscape Navigator 5 and above. If you are using Navigator 5 and above and are interested in viewing any of our sites, we strongly suggest you upgrade to the latest Microsoft browser. Regardless of which browser you use, both the site map and text links at the bottom of the pages can be relied upon to assist you in navigating through the site.

Your Screen Resolution. This site is optimized for a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. If you have your monitor set for other resolutions, you can expect less than desirable images on your screen: misaligned captions, tables, and pictures. Many of the newer large screen users often set their screens for 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024 pixels. This site will not normally display well on these screens. If you wish to view the site at the optimum resolutions, here are the directions for changing your screen resolution in Windows 98: (“>” means click on the last listed item and then look for the next listed item to click on.)

• Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>Screen Area
• Move the sliding scale so that 800 x 600 pixels is displayed. You should see the selections change as you move the slider so that it displays the following resolutions: 740 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024. Stay with the 800 x 600. You can change it back later if you wish, the same way you selected it here. On earlier monitors, you may not get many choices. On really early monitors, you may get no choices.
• If you have selected a resolution that is different from your prior setting, you may get a question about whether you want to change your setting. If you confirm that you wish to change, your screen may go temporarily dark while the resolution is changed.
• For those who have not updated their Windows 98 files with new patches along the way, you may have to restart your computer. Current, updated Windows 98 users should have no problem in changing their resolution.

If you are using a Macintosh machine, you can probably click on the icon at the bottom of your screen and select from a number of resolutions. Due to the variances in the way browsers display content, some Macs may display the site better at a 1024 x 768 resolution. 

Printing . Our pages usually print beautifully on today’s printers, particularly from Internet Explorer. Some overprinting in areas may occur if you have your browser fonts set to “large” or “larger,” and you may not get as much printed on a page as you would like for the same reason. Try using a smaller browser font size. Another option is to reset the margins for the printed page through your printer setup screen. If these options do not work, look over other suggestions in the troubleshooter to see what else might be causing a problem.
