Changing the size of the text.

You can make the text either larger  or smaller to suit you. How you do it depends on the system and web browser you're using. This is how to change the text size in the most commonly used browsers:

PCs

• If you are using  Internet Explorer, go to "View" on the top menu bar of the browser, scroll down and select "Text Size", then choose the size you need from 'Smaller through to 'Largest'.
• If you're using Netscape, Mozilla and Internet Explorer, go to "View" in the top bar, select "Text Zoom" or "Text size" and choose the size you need.

Apple Macs

• In Netscape or Internet Explorer, go to "View" in the top bar, then select "Text Zoom" or "Text size" and choose the size you need.
• In Safari go to "View" in the top bar of the browser, then choose "Make text bigger" or "Make text smaller" in the dropdown menu.

If you're using another browser, check its "Help" facility to find out how to do it.

Making web pages look simpler

You can change the appearance of pages (the style sheet) to make them easier to read. This is how to change the style sheet in the most commonly used browsers:

PCs

• In Internet Explorer, go to "Tools" on the top menu bar, select "Internet Options", then click on the "Accessibility" button. Click the top 3 boxes in the pop-up window. If you want to make your own style, you can do it by following the instructions in the lower half of the pop-up window.

Macs

• In Internet Explorer under the "Explorer" menu, select "Preferences", then "Web Browser" then "Web Content". In the "Page Content" area, clear the check boxes next to the items you don't want, including the style sheet.
• If you're using Safari, go to the "Safari" menu, select "Preferences" then "Advanced". Other style sheets can be attached here.

If you are using any other browser, check its "Help" facility to find out how to do it.
