Accessiblity
If you have trouble reading the print on
Web pages, you can easily change the size of the font to fit your needs
by selecting your browser from the list below and clicking the link.
If you have a wheel mouse hold and keep down the control (Ctrl) key and
then turn the wheel on your mouse to adjust the size of the text until
it fits your requirements. To fit page to full screen hit the F11 key.
Changing font sizes in your web browser
is easy. Instructions will vary from browser to browser. If you get really
stuck, go to your browser's help menu (usually the button furthest right
in any program). From there you should be able to get help on any problem
you have.
