Link

These are the portions of a page that take you to another page. A text link is usually underlined and in a different color, often blue. By clicking on the text link you’ll be taken to another page. Graphics can be links as well, transporting you to other web pages.

Scrolling

To look at parts of the page that are above or below what you are seeing, you can scroll using the long vertical bar at the right of your screen, or the horizontal bar at the bottom of your screen. By placing your mouse over the box and holding down the cursor you can slide the square up or down, left or right, to view more of the page. You can also view more of the page by clicking the arrows on the bar. The scroll bars are only available when there is content that is not visible on the screen.
