To open a factsheet simply click on the name of the file. If you have Adobe acrobat installed and have a recent copy of Internet Explorer or equivalent it should open in your browser window. Alternatively it will ask you to download the file. If this happens simply follow your browsers on screen instructions.
Our factsheets are available in Microsoft Word and Adobe portable document format (PDF).
Pdf files are accessible for those using special access technologies if the user has Acrobat Reader version 5 (Search and Screen-reader version) or version 6 or higher.
Download a copy of the accessible version of Acrobat Reader. For PDF documents that do not have a Word format alternative visit the Online conversion tools for Adobe PDF documents page which allows you to convert PDF documents into HTML or text formats.
As the owners of this material, AbilityNet is happy for these documents to be copied and distributed. However we do ask you to keep the documents complete, so that our details are always available for people to contact us if they need further help.
