About file formats used on this CD-ROM
 PDF documents
Most of the downloads available on this CD-ROM are in Portable Document Format (PDF). These files are universally readable on any platform but require a piece of software called Acrobat Reader. This may already be installed on many machines, in which case simply clicking on a PDF link should open the file. If you do not have Acrobat Reader on your machine, it is available from Adobe as a free download.
In every case on our site where a link goes to a PDF document, this will be shown in brackets after the link, together with an indication of approximate file size. You may either view a file within your browser (if your browser is already configured with the Acrobat Reader plug-in) or save a file to your hard drive.
To save a file to your hard drive, click on the link with the right mouse button (PC) and choose the "Save Link As" option. Then simply open the file from your hard drive.
 Word documents
Some documents on this CD-ROM such as forms are offered as Word documents. This allows you to type directly onto a form from your computer, before printing it off and posting it. To open these documents you will need Microsoft Word installed on your machine.
