To Find What You Need in a Hurry, Use...

Main Menu Bar or Quick Reference Menu
Click on the drop-down menu labeled "Quick Reference Menu" in the upper right corner of the menu bar to access key terms, or scroll down the main menu [in yellow] on the right side to view all sections of the Web site.

Sitemap
A Sitemap has been added to the site as a quick reference to the site's structure and content. The Sitemap link is located at the bottom of each page for your convenience.

Search Function
Every navigation page on the KAP Web site has a Search box in the upper right corner of the menu bar.

To search, enter the search term in the space provided, and click the Search button to display a list of all files on the site that contain your search term. The Search Results Display page will provide you with a list of documents matching your search term. It will list the number of documents found and will sort the results by relevance, providing the document date, title, size, and Url or location of the document. See example above.

Hyperlinks
On each page of the Web site you will find hyperlinked text. When you click on hyperlinked text, the Web browser takes you either to a local link [a hyperlink, where the link points to an information page within the KAP Web site] or to a remote link [a hyperlink that points to an information page outside the KAP Web site]. Hyperlinks within the KAP Web site are identified as underlined text. In some instances, images or icons can be selected to take you to the proper page.

PDF Files
All documents found on the KAP Web site have been provided in PDF format for downloading.

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It's a distribution format developed by Adobe Corporation to allow electronic information to be transferred among various types of computers. The software that allows this transfer is called Acrobat. To view and print a PDF file you will first need to download and install a copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. To download and install Acrobat Reader, please visit Adobe's download page.


You may also be interested in knowing about Access.Adobe.Com, a tool that allows blind and visually impaired users to read any document in Adobe PDF format. The tool converts PDF documents into simple HTML or ASCII text that can then be read by a number of common screen reading programs that synthesize the HTML to produce audible speech. If you are using a screen reader, download the Access plugin as well. The Adobe Access plugin is located at http://access.adobe.com.

PowerPoint Files
If you do not have PowerPoint installed on your computer, you can use the PowerPoint97 Viewer (2,757K) [http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/help/plugin/ppoint.htm] to view and print PowerPoint presentations exactly as they appear in PowerPoint. With this viewer, you can see animation, graphic effects, action settings, hyperlinks, and custom shows.
