Pop-up windows are additional browser windows which the current page opens.
We warn you if a link creates a pop-up window by prefixing it with the symbol
,
for example our
Dictionary
opens in a separate window.
You can recognise a pop-up window easily because its Back button is missing or disabled (greyed out).
When you've finished using the pop-up window, just close it - the original window is still there.
You can't simply use your browser's Print button option because our pages use frames as the simplest way to enable you to find your way around (see the description of "frames" in our Dictionary). So instead:
You have 2 options:
Click the content frame then use your browser's "Find" facility.
In the menu down the side of our pages:

Some of our menus have so many folders and so many links that
we don't load the links in some folders until you open these
folders by clicking their
symbols. These are "dynamically-loaded" folders. We use them
to reduce the time it take to load these big menus.
The "Expand all" button will not show the contents of a "dynamically-loaded" folder
until you have clicked the folder's
symbol. After that "Expand all" opens the folder.
If you click the "Flip" button, any "dynamically-loaded" folders you have opened will be closed, unless the current content page is in a "dynamically-loaded" folder.
