Resizing text

Most popular browsers let you change the way individual websites look, for example, by increasing the size of the text, or switching off images.

The example below shows how to change the font size settings:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer
    Go to the 'View' menu, select 'Text Size' and then choose from one of the five font sizes: Largest, Large, Medium, Small and Smallest.
  • Firefox
    Go to the 'View' menu, select 'Text Size' and then either Increase Ctrl + +, Decrease Ctrl + − or Normal Ctrl + 0.
  • Opera
    Go to the 'Tools' menu, select 'Preferences 'then click on the 'Web pages' tab. Select the 'Normal font' button. A dialogue box appears and provides options to increase/decrease font size, font type, weight and style.
  • Netscape Navigator
    Go to the 'View' menu and choose 'Increase Font' until the text is the size you require.
