Increasing text size
Some users might find screen text easier to read by increasing the
size at which text is displayed. To do this you should simply adjust
your browser's settings.
- If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to
the View menu, select Text Size and then either Larger or Largest.
- If you use Firefox, go to the View menu, select
Text Size and then either Increase Ctrl + +, Decrease Ctrl + - or
Normal Ctrl + 0.
- If you use Opera, go to the Tools menu, select
Preferences then click on the Web pages tab. Select the normal font
button. A dialogue box appears and provides options to
increase/decrease font size, font type, weight and style.
- If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the View
menu and choose Increase Font until the text is the size you
require.
