|
back to top |
The Full Text page displays the complete text of the document you
selected from the Bibliographic Record page.
UKOP not only contains the full text of documents that are freely available on
the Web, but also the full text of documents that are on the Web but not
currently available to the general public or have not been digitised yet.
These latter types of documents belong to the following categories:
-
Press releases
-
Factsheets and guidance
-
Annual reports
-
Consultation papers
-
Circulars
-
Statistics
-
Inspection Reports (not schools)
-
Inquiry reports
Two windows are displayed. The smaller one shows the copyright of the issuing
body and our disclaimer.
The larger one shows the complete text of the document. For consistency of
appearance, we have been storing the full text of all documents catalogued
since January 2000 in Adobe PDF format.
Please note that blank pages have been removed from some documents in the UKOP
full text archive to reduce file size. This means that on occasion page numbers
may not be consecutive. The text of these documents has not been altered in any
way.
Royal Arms, departmental logos and publisher imprints have been removed from
Crown copyright documents in the UKOP full text archive on the instruction of
Her Majesty's Stationery Office. The text of these documents has not been
altered in any way.
The Bibliographic Record page is visible below these two windows. |

| How does Adobe Acrobat work? |
|
back to top |
Since January 2000, all full text documents catalogued in UKOP have
been stored in Adobe PDF format. So when you click a
full text...
icon, UKOP will launch the version of Adobe Acrobat you have installed on your
computer and display the document in a new window.
The Adobe Acrobat toolbar will be displayed at the top of this window, allowing
you to print, save and zoom in and out of the document, as well as moving
around the document by using the 'hand' tool. You can hold your mouse over each
icon on the toolbar to display the explanatory tool-tip.
If you experience any problems either with the download or functionality of
Adobe Acrobat, first ensure that you have the latest version of Acrobat Reader
installed. Click
here to see the current version (given in Step 3 of the download
instructions), and compare this to the properties of your current Reader.
You can do this by:
- Either:
-
-
Right-clicking on the Acrobat Reader icon and checking the properties.
- Or:
-
-
Opening Acrobat Reader and choosing
About Acrobat Reader...
from the
Help
menu.
Click
here to download the latest version of Acrobat Reader.
Alternatively visit the
Adobe Support Knowledgebase or
Acrobat Reader Top Issues section of their site for advice in answering
any queries you may have. |

Once you have finished reading the document:
-
Click the close icon on the title bar of either of the two windows.
Both windows will close to display the UKOP window.
NOTE:
If you are using one of the earlier browsers, e.g. Netscape 3 or Internet
Explorer 3, you will need to click the close icon on both the copyright and PDF
windows. |
