The contents of the CD may be viewed using Microsoft Explorer version 4/5 or Netscape Navigator version 4.5. There may be some minor formatting inconsistencies when viewed under Netscape Navigator version 4.5. We recommend you set the font default to Arial for easy reading. We recommend that you set your default background to white to enable clear viewing of figures and tables. In Microsoft Explorer 4 this is done by selecting the View menu (Tools menu in Internet Explorer 5), and then under this selecting Options, and then selecting the Colors button, and then selecting Backgound, and choosing white. To change the font, select the Font button on the same Options page, and choose Arial under Proportional font.

The CD is a medium designed for viewing on your computer screen. However, printing is an option.

Figures and tables are linked to the text as images and are best when printed at 600dpi. This setting can be changed under print properties. Where possible we have two figures/tables per page and large tables are split into page-size sections. Certain figures and tables will need to be printed in a landscape form.
