An email will be sent within the next minute with a link that can be
used once to login you in and let you change your password.

9. I cannot read the attached documents

Most documents are in pdf format. We do this because Micosoft Word is not a
standard format accessible to all people. In fact MS keep changing it all the time
which makes it very difficult to put up a document that is readable by different
people with different versions of software. So like most on the web we standardise
on the Portable Document Format by Adobe. If your machine doesn't already have
a PDF reader you can get a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader here:

It's free (as in beer).

PS If you cannot see attachments at all - it's probably because you haven't logged
on to the website. Only authenticated users can access attachments.
