 This Help page is for general help for members and visitors to www.hillheadsc.org.uk, and for people who are new to the Internet. It also includes various suggestions to help people who have a disability.
Direct Link
The homepage address is the correct title to the website and as such should be the first page reached for all Internet viewers. If you pass on HHSC web site information to anyone please give them the homepage address.
If you would prefer a direct link to a specific page in preference to the homepage, you should copy and paste the full address of the appropriate page and apply it to your favourites list.
Or better still - do the following:
Open the page to which you want a direct link, go to File / Send / Shortcut to desktop, you should then receive a webpage icon with link on your PC desktop.
Navigation
Members still need to refer to the left navigation panel to reach the other pages some of which are especially pertinent e.g. the social diary / the Fixtures / results etc.
Please send enquiries or problems to the Editor/Web Manager from the link on the left. You can also use this to send items for Mainsheets magazine. See the Mainsheets page for copy date and other details concerning the publication.

Adobe Acrobat Reader
This programme is required on your PC in order to view pdf pages. A pdf Logo is shown wherever there is a page to be viewed in this format.
Click on the link to obtain the free download. After download it works automatically when you click on an appropriate document, you do not need to find the program to use it.
Viewing the pages
The webpages are designed to fit properly when viewed in a minimized window - some look better this way but all can be viewed as usual in the maximised window.
However the minimised window can be enlarged a little by the two headed arrow which appears if you put the mouse on any of the window edges. Sometimes this is all you need to do to 'straighten out' a line or two to make the information on the page 'look correct'.
Using the smaller windows keeps your desktop on view behind the web pages. Links to pages which are not given on the main navigation column will appear in a new window, which is displayed on top of the one you were originally looking at. When finished with this link, click it off and the page you were originally viewing will be on top again for you to continue reading.
Tool Tips
These are the small yellow boxes you should get when the mouse moves over pictures or animations used to decorate a page. (samples above) These are intended to advise people who may, for one reason or another not be able to see the actual picture / animation.
To enlarge the text in tool tips -
Go to My computer / control panel / display / appearance.
In the 'item' bar it will say Desktop - below is a drop down list where you should find tool tip. Click on this to bring it up to the viewing bar.
The colour box will display the usual tool tip yellow and give the text as black and Tahoma font - the standard settings. You can now change these to whatever you wish - trial and error will tell you the font size you need for your particular eye sight. When you have altered each item to suit click on Apply and OK.
(N.B. this will also enlarge one or two information bars on your PC document windows.)
Help from Main Explorer window.
Click on Tools / internet options / advanced. Here you can check or uncheck the boxes for the following:
- Expand the text in the tool tip for images
- Underline the links
- Display or remove animations in web pages
- Use sounds or not
- Play videos or not
Changing the font size on webpages
The Help menu advises - go to View / text size and check the one you want. However I have found it doesn't make much difference! So I think you have to do the following to suit your particular needs BEFORE setting the aforementioned text size
Explorer window again - tools / internet options / accessibility and check the boxes you need. Hopefully you can then select a size accordingly on the View menu.
NOTE
However I have been informed it is probably easier to use a PC screen magnifier at home rather than changing most of these settings - except for removing sound if not required for those who are deaf, or if it hinders speech recognition listening. Animations may be annoying for those with vision difficulties.
