A second navigation bar is placed at the top of every tutorial and exercise and will enable you skip to the relevant section of each tutorial/exercise or to a different level.

The Tableau 3 Program

If you want to know how to use the Tableau 3 program please go to the installation pages that accompany it.

If you have worked through the installation pages and continue to have problems, then please email us (at logic@philosophy.ox.ac.uk) with as much information as possible about your system set-up as you can (Operating system, web browser version if using the applet, names of suitable fonts installed, details of any software you have downloaded as part of the installation process).

If you are using a machine in college, you may need to ask your IT officer for help, or for permission to download and install any additional software needed to run the applet.

For people running the program as an applet (i.e. within a web browser), then if you find that you have difficulty in seeing all of the applet's working area, you may wish to run your browser in full screen mode. This is possible in Internet Explorer by choosing View, and then Full Screen from the drop down menu that will appear.
