Increasing text size

If you find the text on this site is too small, you can change it easily in your browser settings. To do this you should simply adjust your browser’s settings.

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then either Larger or Largest.

If you use Mozilla Firefox, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then select Increase.  You can also increase the text size by using the keyboard, pressing Ctrl and + at the same time.

Changing colours

Changing the site’s background colour can be particularly useful for users who rely on magnification technology as white can produce an uncomfortable glare. It is also possible to change the colour of body text on the site.

Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your browser:

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, select Colours and make changes to text and background colours in the Colours panel.

If you use Mozilla Firefox, go to the Tools menu, select Options and select the Font and Colours button.  From here you can override the colours used on this site by ticking the boxes marked “Always use my: Fonts” and “Always use my: Colors”.  You can also specify which colours you prefer text and links to be displayed in, and which background colour should show on the page. You can also choose colours to be used for links you have previously visited and links when your mouse hovers over them.
