If you are using Internet Explorer as your Internet Browser then here are some tips to help you with accessibility of web sites.

At the top right corner of the screen you will see two letter A's - one with a plus sign and the other with a minus sign (identified by the red circle in illustration 1). The site default font size has the option to increase or decrease one level by clicking on the plus or minus option.

Because there are only three settings you will need to click the opposite choice to return to normal. For example, if you click on the minus size then one click on the plus size will return you to the default, and a further click will take you to the plus size, and vice versa.

If you need to make further size adjustments then you can use the settings within Internet Explorer to increase the content size. By going to the main toolbar and selecting the 'View' option and then the 'Zoom' option, you will see further options to Zoom In or Zoom Out or select a fixed percentage increase.

By clicking on Zoom In the site will become larger and you can keep repeating this until you reach the desired size of text. The same can be achieved by pressing the 'Ctrl' key and the '+' key at the same time, each set of key clicks will repeat the Zoom In.

By zooming in you may find that images become blurry or pixellated, but the text should still be clear and easy to read.

To reduce the screen size you can select Zoom Out from the drop down menu or use the 'Ctrl' key and '-' (minus) key at the same time.

To return to the site default just slect the '100%' option on the drop down menu.

You can see that the drop down menu has another option showing beneath 'Zoom', this is 'Text Size' and allows you to change the text only on the site. Please be aware that this option may affect the site layout if image sizes have been applied by the site designer.
