The Kettle - how to use this flipbook

The Kettle is an on screen magazine where you can turn the pages just like a real magazine.

This is called a flipbook and it is a little marvel of modern technology. With just a little practice you’ll find using it is a doddle. It might take a few minutes to get the hang of it but trust me it’s nowhere near as technical or complicated as your sewing machine or, God forbid, the DVD player!

Adjusting the size to make it bigger or smaller

To bring the words up to a comfortable size for reading click the plus sign next to the magnifying glass at the bottom of the screen.

Now use the plus and minus signs that appears at the bottom of the screen to adjust the page size to suit you.

To go back to the original two page display click on the minus sign next to the magnifying glass at the bottom of the screen

If you wish to read The Kettle as a full screen display click on the Make this Fullscreen option at the bottom of the screen.

Moving through the magazine

You will need to move the page around to bring different sections into view. To do this you hold down the left hand button on the mouse and drag a different part of the page into view – think of it as being just like putting your finger on a real page on the table to bring it towards you.

To turn the pages place your mouse cursor on the sides of the page and click the left hand button on your mouse to flip it over or use the left and right arrows at the bottom of the screen.

You can also click on the left and right arrows at the bottom of the screen as shown below

Printing

Please remember that The Kettle is an on screen magazine that gives us the opportunity to go into things in more details than we have room for in our print brochures and we can use lots of colour and photographs. It is not available in print form. You can however print one or more pages to your printer by clicking on the print icon as shown below

You will then have the option to print one or more pages

Because this publication is a full colour publication we suggest you do not print the entire magazine as this might well suck all the ink out of your printer cartridge!

Copy text

If you want to copy and paste a bit of information please feel free to do so. Click on the select text tool at the bottom of the screen, move your cursor to the start of the text you wish to copy, hold the right mouse button down and drag the cursor across the page to highlight all the text you want to copy. Now let go of the left mouse button and click the right mouse button and choose copy text. Open your new document and to paste click the paste button on the tool bar at the top of the screen or click the right hand mouse button and select paste.

Download to your Computer

You can download the magazine as a pdf file so that you don’t have to be online to read it.

There’s a handy download button guess where? At the bottom of the screen!
