Video interviews
Most of the information on this website is contained in video recordings. You will need a Flash plugin to play the videos. Adobe Flash can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe website.
Beside each video, you will find information about its duration and approximate size.
Still Images
In case you cannot see the graphical content, every image on VFO Website contains a text description either in the alt tag or on the page itself.
Documents
Some of the information on our website is in Portable Document Format (PDF). You will need Adobe™Reader™ to read PDF files. The latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader software can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe website.
Later versions of this software provide a number of features that improve access for users. For further information about Adobe’s PDF accessibility, please see the Adobe website.
Links
Every link has a description that is provided when you put the mouse pointer over the link. If the link is related to an external Web (a Web page outside the VFO Website), a text message will appear informing you that a new window will be opened.
We try to ensure that link text makes sense out of context and that it accurately describes the pages it points to. You can use the “Tab” key on your keyboard (as well as your mouse) to navigate between the page links.
