Accessibility in Planning Administration Console Help

Updated: 2009-04-30

Planning Administration Console Help includes features that make it accessible to a variety of users. This includes people who have one or more physical disabilities, such as restricted mobility, blindness, or deafness.

The Help window displays topics and other Help content and it appears as a window next to, but separate from, the active application.

Many Help topics use hidden text and expandable hyperlinks to show or hide additional information in the topics. This way, you do not have to open a different Help topic to see information, and the content is easy to scan. You can use the expandable hyperlinks one at a time, or use Show All or Hide All to open or close all the expandable hyperlinks in the topic.

Press TAB to select the next hidden text or hyperlink, or to select Show All or Hide All at the top of a topic. Within the Help window, press SHIFT+ TAB to select the previous hidden text or hyperlink, or to select Show All or Hide All at the top of a topic.

Note

If you are using a screen reader to read Help topics, you must first expand all the links in the topic by using the Show All button.

To change the appearance of a Help topic

  1. In Windows XP, open Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Internet Options. In Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista, open Control Panel and double-click the Internet Options icon.

  2. On the General tab, click Accessibility, and then click Ignore colors specified on Web pages.

  3. Click OK.

  4. In the Internet Options dialog box, do one or both of the following:

    • To change the color of the background or text in Help, on the General tab, click Colors, and then select the options that you want.

    • To change the font in Help, on the General tab, click Fonts, and then select the options that you want.

      Note

      If you change the font and background color of the Help topics in the Help window, the change will also affect the font and background color when you view a Web page in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
