Items that are not suitable for reading online are made available for downloading. It is very difficult to say how long a document will take to download, but the better your connection, the faster the download. If you think that the download is taking too long, stop and start again.
None of the documents on this site should take long than a minute to download.
To open the document, click on the link and you will be prompted to open or save the document to your computer.
If you do not wish, or for some reason you are not able to download these documents, please contact us and we will post the requested document to you.
Virtually all the material we offer for downloading is in Portable Document Format (PDF), the web standard for such documents. You will need a PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Foxit, both of which are free.
Some downloads will be in Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint formats. You will need to have software installed to edit the documents but you can download Word and PowerPoint Viewers from the Microsoft web site.
Larger documents, or collections of documents, may be compressed into a single zipped file. This file can be downloaded but will then need to be unzipped or decompressed once on your computer. This functionality comes as standard on most computers, but you can use specialist software, such as Winzip or 7-ZIP.
You should be aware that all material posted on the site has been checked for viruses, but you should re-check any download, from this or any other site, just to make sure. Contact Worklife Support or your own IT support if you want any further help in this area.
