Accessibility Information

Using Features Provided by Your Web Browser

Your Web browser has features that improve the readability of pages. For information about the accessibility features provided by your Web browser, look for information in the browser's Help about how to customize your browser to display the fonts and colors that you prefer. If your browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, look for "Accessibility" in the Help Table of Contents.

Using System Accessibility Options

With the minimum required Microsoft Windows operating system, you can set or change system accessibility options. Many of these options affect the way you work in Microsoft programs. For example, the StickyKeys feature in Windows 2000 or higher is designed for people who have difficulty holding down two or more keys at a time. When a shortcut in a Microsoft program requires a key combination, such as CTRL+P, StickyKeys will enable you to press one key at a time instead of pressing them simultaneously.

Blinking Images

At this time, the blink rate of flashing images cannot be altered by the user.
