Access Keys

"Access keys" have been included to assist users with disabilities when navigating their way through the web site. Essentially keyboard shortcuts, access keys provide quick and easy access to common pages without the need for a mouse. At present, not all broswers support access keys and using them depends upon what type of operating system you use.

  • Windows based computers
    Pressing "ALT" and the access key will give focus to that specific link on the page. If you press return, you will then be taken to that page.
  • Macintosh based computers
    Pressing "CTRL" and the access key will automatically send you to that specific page.

The access keys used on this site are:

1 = Home Page

0 = Accessibility

c = About Newgrove

In addition, pressing the TAB key repeatedly will step from link to link on the page. Selected links have a small dotted border around them. Clicking the 'enter' key is the same as clicking the link with the mouse.

Optimise the way you view your web browser

If you have difficulty in reading the Newgrove website on your screen, you may be able to change the settings on your browser to help you improve their visibility.

How to change visibility features

The following suggestions to improve the visibility of web pages will apply to any site that you visit. However, you may find that not all pages within a site are compatible. The images on the screen will not be affected.

To apply the font and colour changes below permanently:

  • on the 'Tools' menu, click 'Internet Options'
  • on the 'General' tab, click on 'Accessibility'
  • click in each of the three boxes to show ticks
  • click 'OK'.

Increasing text size

Some users might find screen text easier to read by increasing the size at which text is displayed. To do this you should simply adjust your browser's settings.

  • If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then either Larger or Largest.
  • If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the View menu and choose Increase Font until the text is the size you require.

Combinations of fonts, typefaces and background colours used in web page design may result in text being difficult to read. However, you can choose settings to suit you. For example black text on a yellow background gives a distinct contrast. To change the text colour and background colour:

Changing colours

Changing the site's background colour can be particularly useful for users who rely on magnification technology as white can produce an uncomfortable glare. It is also possible to change the colour of body text on the site. Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your browser:

  • If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, select Colors and make changes to text and background colours in the Colors panel.
  • If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the Edit menu, select Preferences, open the Appearance menu and select Colors. You can set the colour of text and background from here.

To change the size of the window:

  • click 'View' then 'Full Screen' from the toolbar, or press F11.
