The areas of the second column each in turn link to specific documents. Some of these are:
- Web pages (eg. Staff Forum)
- MSWORD documents (eg. heaithandsafety.doc) and some are
- Plain text drafts awaiting consultation (eg. newrecruitment.txt).
In fact, the documents linked to could be any that could be read by the receiving computer. Internet Explorer 5 can actually display Office documents itself with their toolbars. If these documents are set to 'Read Only' in their properties, then they will not be changed by the user.
Naturally, a naming convention is best for this intranet, with the 'new' prefix for any documents in draft form and those still being compiled being in text format.
