Text too small?  No problem!

You own your web browser program and you should be able to choose how web pages look on your computer, whether you just prefer things your way or you have difficulty seeing small text or certain colours.

We are committed to making this site accessible to all visitors using any browser. However, if you experience any difficulty in viewing any of the pages or accessing any of the information, please let us know.

 

Making the text bigger

If the text on this site is too small, you can make it bigger by changing the settings in your web browser.

Microsoft Internet Explorer offers two possibilities:

1.    The View > Text Size menu has five settings from Smallest to Largest.
This site has been designed to look most attractive with this set to Medium,
but you should choose whichever setting suits you best.

2.    The Tools > Internet Options dialogue box has an Accessibility button which
allows you to ignore various styles included in web pages, including text sizes,
colours and the style sheets used to control how this site looks. You should
experiment with the settings until you find what suits you best.

Netscape Navigator has Increase Font and Decrease font options on the View menu.
