VIEWERS
Many different viewers are available. Perhaps the way you are viewing webs
could be more pleasant. However you choose to view a web, knowing how to operate
your viewer won't hurt. Go ahead. Try clicking on some of the menu options. In
particular, try your page back and page forward buttons.
Most viewers allow you to hear sound.
Some do not. If you can hear sound with your computer when doing other
things, you should be able to connect the sound to your viewer. Check
your viewers "options" or "preferences."

world wide web.
Some viewers can only see text. Some viewers can't see everything.
The two most common forms of pictures
on the world wide web are "giffs" and
"jpegs." If you can't see either of these, check to make sure you
have your viewer set to view images. Still can't see? Maybe an additional
software set-up (like a jpeg viewer) is needed, or maybe
you should check into a whole new
viewer below.
Would you like to try your viewer out on a "giff" or "jpeg" ?
The background of this page should have question marks (?)
all over it. If you can't see backgrounds, you may be missing
a large part of the show.
Here are some more tests.
The word should appear the same as
what it is. For instance, the word
should be
REAL BIG
real small
Since you've made it here, presumably you already have a
viewer. However, you may wish to upgrade. First, make sure you
are getting the most out of the viewer you have.
Click on your viewer's menu bar to see if you have a "preferences"
or "helper applications" choice. This is where you tell your viewer
what software program to run for different types of files. For
instance, this avi file will only
be viewable if you have set up your viewer to talk to your
multi-media player. (avi, mov & mpeg files are video. The same holds
true for wave (.wav) files - most viewers won't play sound files
unless you tell them how to find your soundcard.)

multi-media on the world wide web.
If you still can't get your viewer to perform, try either of
the following places:
or
Both of these are available on most FTP sites.
If you have a question about FTP access (like, "what is it?"),
"click" here, and maybe we can help you out.
A viewer (also called a browser)
is the software that lets you see this. What is this? Well, if your viewer has an option to
"view source," try it. A viewer is sort-of like needing a pair of 3-D glasses to view a 3-D
movie.
