Q8:
I have printed a few pages from Encycogov but they are updated
frequently. How do I know that I have the latest version of a particular page?
This
is simple. Just check the version
number at the top of the page under 'Page info'. If it is larger than the version
number at your printed page you don't have the latest version.
Q9:
Why do some pages look different on print than on my screen?
This is a common problem with web pages and the magnitude of it depends on the
internet browser that you are using and the skills of the web page creator. As time
passes the web pages will be more carefully designed and your problem may disappear.
However, you may solve the problem immediately by using Microsoft's Internet Explorer
browser instead of Netscape's internet browser since this website is optimized for use with
Internet Explorer. If you don't have it on you computer you can
download
and install it for free at Microsoft.
Q10:
Some of the web pages in Encycogov are so large that they are difficult to view on my
screen. Is there anything that I can due to overcome this problem?
Yes, you can solve the problem by increasing the resolution of your screen.
Your computer was probably delivered with a screen resolution set at 800*600
pixels or lower. However, Encycogov looks better with a resolution of
1024*768 or more. To change screen resolution do the following: 1) Clear or
close all open programs and folders so that you can see the desktop of your
computer (the desktop is the screen that among other things shows your
recycle bin). 2) Point the mouse on the desktop and right click. 3)
On the resulting menu select 'properties'. 4) Your computer should launch a box
menu called 'Display properties' and you should select 'Settings'.5) The box
menu should now show your current screen resolution plus a few other
things. 6) Increase the screen resolution and click the OK button. Remember that
you always can go back and undue your changes if you don't like them.
