Text-Only pages

All Oregon.gov pages are accessible in a text-only format with the following exceptions:

  •  http://wpbox7.net/58/80566031, the state portal, does not have a text-only format. Browsers can be set to zoom to
     the the size needed.
  •  http://wpbox7.net/58/80566031 websites that feature the new look and feel and architecture consistent with the
     Oregon.gov portal do not have a text-only format. Browsers can be set to zoom to the size 
     needed. An example of a site like this is the Department of Agriculture.

Once you click on “text-only” link in the top navigational banner, you have several options usually located at the top or bottom of the page. Among the options is the ability to:

  • Go back to original page (in the same window | in a new window)
  • Convert the page to a PDF
  • Print the page
  • Textise Home Page (full version | text only version)
  • Textise Options Page (choose font size, font colour, size of text, etc.)

The choices you select from this menu will be the default standards for your browser while you are on http://wpbox7.net/58/80566031.
