This section is an additional feature to this Federal Standard and is not found in
the official, hard copy (i.e.,paper) version.
Help Section
- First, if you are seeing the "Frames" feature of HTML coding (i.e., you see four separate boxes of text within the boundaries of your browser and it looks something like the box below),
you are viewing this document as it was intended to be viewed. You may view it without Frames, but you won't receive the full presentation of this glossary. The differences you will notice if you do not use the latest browsers are,
- You must navigate screens one-by-one, using the "forward" and "backward" buttons on your
browser. List of term names will not remain on the screen while you view each definition.
- Many of the formatting charactistics will be invisible to you. For example, the expression
"ten squared" will be displayed as "102" instead of displaying the "2" as a superscripted value.
- Many Greek and mathematical symbols will not appear at all. Instead, a blank space will appear
in those places where your browser can not understand the character code.
- Tables and equations may not display or may display incorrectly.
- The Frame at the bottom of your screen (i.e., the one that starts with the text
"Welcome") should always be visible when you are viewing 1037C. Within this Frame are several boxes
you can click on to bring up various sections of FS-1037C. They are,
-
WELCOME - Clicking on this box will display a Welcome message in the upper left Frame.
-
HELP - Clicking on this box will display this Help page in the upper left Frame.
-
HINTS - Clicking on this box will display a page, in the upper left Frame, that will give
you many helpful hints on how to use this Federal Standard quickly and easily.
-
A-Z - Clicking on this box will display a letter-by-letter listing of all definitions in
the glossary, in the upper right Frame. This is the button you will probably use most often.
-
FILES - Clicking on this box will display a page, in the upper left Frame, that has a
listing of files that are avaialble for you to download. These files are compressed versions of
the standard and viewing programs for PDF files.
-
INDEX - Clicking on this box will display a listing of many major categories of
definitions, in the upper left Frame.
-
CREDITS - Clicking on this box will display a page of credits, about the people and
organizations that created this document, in the upper left Frame.
-
Federal Standard 1037C Home - Clicking on this box will display the main 1037C page.
- The typical use of this glossary would be to look up a particular term or definition. The steps are,
- Click on the "A-Z" box (if the "A-Z" page is not already in the upper right Frame).
- Click on the letter of the alphabet for the term you'd like to view. The upper right Frame
should change to the listing for that letter.
- Use the slide bar along the right edge of that Frame until you can see the definition name
you'd like to view.
- Click on the term name. The upper left Frame should display the definition(s) for the term you
have selected. The upper right Frame should remain as the listing for the letter of the alphabet.
- You can select any highlighted word within the definition to jump to that new term and
definition, or you may select another definition from the list on the right.
