Before you begin your exploration of Flexographic Technical Association's Internet site, you need to make sure that you have a Web Browser that supports Frames, Java Applets and JavaScript.

There will always be a word navigation system at the bottom of every page, so you can navigate through the site.

Viewing PDF Files with Adobe Acrobat Reader
The FTA Internet Site also allows you to access documents that are not in HTML format, such as brochures, catalogs, help documents, etc. Those documents are in a format known as PDF, and you can only view them by downloading the Adobe Acrobat reader. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is FREE. It is important to note that it may take a few minutes to completely download the application. Instructions concerning installation and usage are available online from Adobe.

Navigation Help
There's much to see on the FTA Internet site, and the best way to explore the site and get information you want is to simply mouse over the area of interest on our Java Navigator. The Navigator on the left side will drop down to expose what is available in the section you have chosen. Simply click on the word(s) that describe the area of your interest in that section. You can go to one of many areas by using the navigation sytem located at the left or at the bottom of every page.

But pointing and clicking isn't the only way to get where you're going on the FTA site. You can use the FTA Site Map to move around. A link to the site map is provided at the top of the page.

You can also navigate with your browser's "Back" and "Next" or "Forward" buttons. The "Back" button will take you back to the page you were viewing immediately prior your present page. You can click on the back button as many times as you want to back-track through your exploration of FTA site until you reach the home page again.

And, once you've clicked on the "Back" button few times, you may not want to re-navigate your way back to where you started, and that's where the "Next" or "Forward" button comes in. After you've navigated using the "Back" button, clicking the "Next" button will take you forward through your previous path without having to click on all those hypertext links again!

The toolbar at the top of the page simply lists the other topics on the home page and allows you to go directly to one of those other topical areas from wherever you are, instead of going back to the home page.

However, if you want to go back to the homepage, all you have to do is click "FTA ICON" on the top of any page, the word "Home" at the bottom of the page or "Home Button" in the Navigator, and you'll be back at the beginning.

Within the documents you'll see in the FTA Internet site, you'll notice that some words are colored & underlined. If you put your cursor over them, your cursor will turn into a hand, and that means that you can click on that word to go to another page with more detailed information about that highlighted term.

Some of the colored, underlined terms end with "@flexography.org". Those terms indicate that you can send an email message directly to us. When you click on one of those, your email program will appear with a new message and you can begin writing a message to the department or person described in the first part of the email address. If you experiencing problems with this website, please send email to: webmaster@flexography.org.
