	Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Browsing the BAOBAB web-site: How do I move around the BAOBAB material? How do I retrace my path if I want to go back? How do I know which pages I have visited? How do I make the text bigger and easier to read? How do I 'bookmark' a page to return to it easily? How do I download manuals from the BAOBAB web-site? 1. To move around /navigate the BAOBAB material The underlined text indicates a hypertext link to further information. Place the mouse pointer- usually in the form of an arrow - over a link. The pointer changes to a hand to 'grab' the information. Now with your mouse pointer on the link, click once with your left mouse button. New information appears on screen after a pause to load it. Each screen of material is referred to as a 'page'. If a page of material is longer than what you see on the screen in front of you, you can scroll down the page. To do this, click on the down arrow of the scroll bar on the right hand side of your computer screen.
	You can also scroll down by pressing the down arrow key of your computer keyboard.
	[Back to FAQ menu] To navigate between pages The panel of buttons on the left hand side of each page enables you to move directly to any of the main pages from anywhere else within the site. Unless you have changed the default setting in your browser, text links are underlined, appear in blue text when you have not used them before and change to a violet colour once you have visited the link. The link to the page you are currently reading is not underlined and is in a contrast colour. [Back to FAQ menu] 2. To retrace your path /go back The Back button on the toolbar of your browser software (e.g. Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer) will take you back to the page you browsed previously.
	[Back to FAQ menu] To go back to other pages already visited If you are using Netscape to browse, click on Go on the Netscape menu bar at the top of the screen. A menu is now displayed of pages that you have visited during this session. Click on the page you wish to revisit. This list is started fresh every time you start the Netscape browser.
