3 What format are the worksheets in ?
  All our worksheets are in PDF format. To view them, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. The software is free, and probably already installed.

4  Why do I get a blank screen when I download a worksheet?
  Very occasionally, there can be a problem with the version of Acrobat Reader installed on a user's computer, which leads to a blank screen when viewing worksheets.

It's very easy to fix.

First uninstall the version of Acrobat Reader you have on your computer. Then, go to the Adobe website, and download the latest version of the Reader software. It's free. The link is here.

As soon as you've reinstalled the latest version, you'll be able to view the worksheets without any difficulties.
