Accessibility Resources
The Electronic
and Information Technology Accessibility Standards ("Section
508 final rule"), National Federation of the Blind's Guidelines
for Web Accessibility and the World Wide Web Consortium's Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines describe the elements
of accessible web pages. Yahoo lists companies that provide assistive
computer technology, including screen reading software.
Adobe Acrobat PDF Files
Many of the documents on the our website
are in HTML or ASCII (plain text) formats. These formats are
generally accessible to people who use screen readers. We also
have a large number of documents in Adobe® Acrobat® Portable
Document Format (PDF).
PDF format is used to preserve the content and layout of our
hard copy publications. Publications in PDF can only be viewed
and printed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader™, version 4.0
or higher. You can download and get help using the Acrobat Reader
at the Adobe
Systems, Inc. site. The downloadable Acrobat Reader software
is available at NO CHARGE from Adobe.
People using screen-reading devices generally are unable to
read documents directly in PDF format, unless they have an accessibility
plug-in installed on their system along with the Adobe Acrobat
Reader. This plug-in is available at NO CHARGE from Adobe. Adobe
also has online tools that will convert PDF files to HTML on
request. To get the plug-in and latest news about Adobe's accessibility
tools and services, visit Adobe's Accessibility Resource Center.
PowerPoint and Word Files
You can view our online publications
that are in Microsoft PowerPoint® (.ppt) format if you
have any version of PowerPoint installed on your computer.
For those who don't have the software, the Microsoft Corporation
offers a FREE PowerPoint file viewer. You can download and
get help using the PowerPoint viewer at the Microsoft Viewers
site.
You can view publications in Microsoft Word® (.doc)
format if you have Word, version 6.0 or higher, installed
on your computer. Word documents can also be viewed with
many other word processing software programs. Additionally,
Microsoft offers a FREE Word file viewer that you can download
at its Office Online File Converters and Viewers.
Style Sheets
Some of the web pages on our website
set font sizes, font colors, and font types using style sheets.
You may adjust your browser settings to disable these styles
or override them with your own preferred font sizes, colors,
and types.
