All pages are connected with each other by so-called "links" or "hyper-links", as they often are referenced to. (Users of the World Wide Web will already know this concept.)
This means that every user has the possibility to choose his own path through all the information provided by GTV. It's your decision what's of interest to you - not ours.

A link may consist of text or even an image. You may recognize a text-link by its different appearance. Compared to plain text, a link bears a different colour (which changes when the mousepointer is being moved over it) and is always underlined.

CLUE: The easiest way of recognizing a link is to watch the shape of the mousepointer. When moving the mousepointer over a link, it changes into a hand (with the forefinger stretched off).

You browse the CD-ROM by clicking on the links. Just one click with the left Mousebutton - and there you are!

CLUE: If you should follow a link accidentially, you can always get back to the last page by clicking the button "Back" in your Browser Window.

2. Navigation-Bars

Looking at the left area of the window, you see the Main Navigation Bar which provides you with the main chapters that can be found on the CD.

When moving the mouse over a chapter title, it will change its colour into blue. Now it can be activated with a single mouseclick (remember - just like any other hyperlink!). After clicking, you will see the main page of the selected chapter in the right area of the window.
(Note that the blue bar in the Main Navigation Window will remain until the next link is clicked. This is to give you more orientation of where you currently are.)

However, some chapters contain such a lot of information that they won't fit onto a single page. In the "products"-area, this is very much the case.

When entering such an area, you will recognize a second navigation bar located in the upper right area of the window. This Theme-related Navigation Bar helps you to quickly oversee the content of the current chapter. For instance, this could be sub-chapters like "working materials" or "spare parts" in the "products"-area.

Attention: If pages are not being displayed as they should, the reason could be that you have already installed a browser on your system which is outdated and therefore unable to recognize newer standards of programming.
In this case we recommend installing the newest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer which can be found on the CD-ROM. If you are running a 32-Bit Operating system (such as Windows 95, 98 or NT), please use "browser\32bit\en\ie5setup.exe" to install the browser. (For 16-Bit Operating Systems (Windows 3.x), "browser\16bit\en\setup.exe" is recommended.)
