Budget Highlights
— The highlights is a high level narrative summarization of the Department’s
budget request.
Summary Table
— This is a short tabular summarization of the request by
appropriation account
and by first tier organization.
Control Tables — This is a somewhat longer tabular
summarization of the request at the level we call decision units. It is
available in order by
appropriation
account or in first tier
organization
order.
Statistical Table
— This table shows the budget request at the level at which Congress controls
our spending. In most areas, it is more detailed than the Control table.
Laboratory Table
— The lab table is a tabular summarization by decision unit broken out by the
various laboratories at which DOE does work.
State Table
— The state table is like the lab table, except broken out by each state in
which DOE does work, rather than by laboratory.

Rollout.
While we have designed the format of most
of the budget material to be readable when viewed on screen, you may still find
it difficult to read some of the text that is presented in landscape
orientation. Try some or all of the tips below to make the text larger and
clearer. (If the reason it is unclear is the content of the text, rather than
its appearance, these tips may not help.)
§
Maximize the window.
¨
If the Adobe Acrobat window in which the budget is being displayed does
not fill the screen, the fonts are being displayed in a smaller size then
necessary.
¨
Click the Maximize button in the upper right corner of the window to
make the window fill the screen.
§
Hide the bookmarks.
¨
Bookmarks appear on the left side of the window and serve as a table of
contents for the file.
¨
You can hide the bookmarks to make more room for the text, and then
redisplay it later when you want to jump to a new section.
§
Set the zoom to Fit Visible.
¨
By default, most of the budget documents display from the left edge to
the right edge of the page.
¨
The Fit Visible mode hides the blank part of the page and only displays
from the left margin to the right margin, which results in the text being shown
at a larger size.
¨
To set the zoom, select Fit Visible from the View menu. You may also
want to try other zoom settings to see if they work better.
§
Change the text smoothing
function.
¨
Text smoothing uses gray dots to make the edges of text look less
jagged.
¨
Depending on your screen settings, this may either improve the
appearance of the text or may make the text look fuzzy. Try it both ways to see
which looks best.
§
Set the screen mode to a
higher resolution.
¨
Changing the screen resolution does not affect the size of the text on
screen, but changes the number of pixels available to draw each character.
Having more pixels to work with allows the computer to draw the characters with
more detail, which should make them clearer.
