Text Resizing
If you have a general problem with the size of text on websites (ours and others) there are four ways of increasing the size:
- Change Operating System Preferences You can change settings within Windows or Macintosh operating system to increase the size of text used – this makes all text on your computer larger (not just websites)
- Change Browser Preferences You can change settings within your browser to increase the default size of “normal” text – this has the effect of enlarging the text on all the websites that you visit (provided those websites have been built in an accessible way) o Internet Explorer 6 From the top menu bar, select View and point to Text size
- Internet Explorer 7 From the menu bar underneath the search field, select Page and point to Text size
- Mozilla, Firefox and most other browsers (PC) Hold down the CTRL key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the CTRL key and press –
- Macintosh (Safari, Firefox and most other browsers) Hold down the Command key and press + Decrease text size: Hold down the Command key and press –
- Zoom-in (Modern Browsers only) You can use modern browsers to enlarge any web-page – the effect is to zoom-in to the page just like enlarging an image. All “modern” browsers support this feature: Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 8 (but unfortunately not Internet Explorer versions 6 or 7)
- Change Size only for this Website You can use the font enlargement controls on this page to increase the text size of this website (which only effects this website)
