Changing the text size
This site uses relative font sizes only, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. Internet Explorer users who find the default text size too small can adjust it by selecting “View > Text Size” and choosing a more readable size. Further text resizing and other customisation can be achieved by following the steps below.
Microsoft Internet Explorer users:
- Using the menu bar at the top of the window select 'Internet Options' - this can be found under either the 'View' menu or the 'Tools' menu
- Click the button that says 'Accessibility'
- Click the box next to 'Ignore fonts now showing on web pages' so that it now shows a tick
- Click OK, then OK again to close the internet options panel
- Select the 'View' option from the Menu bar
- Select 'Text Size'. Another menu will pop up - choose the text size you prefer form this list.
- Connect to the internet so that the browser window is open
- Select 'Edit' from the menu bar
- Select 'Preferences'
- Select 'Appearance'
