Increase the text size

The text size on this website has been set to be user-controllable rather than being a fixed size. This is in compliance with Government Guidelines for accessiblity and will enable you to increase the size of the text.

In Internet Explorer:

  1. On the 'View' menu rollover the 'Text Size' option and click on 'Larger' or 'Largest'.
Note: If the text is not resized by following Step 1 then on the 'Tools' menu click on 'Internet Options...', then click on the 'Accessibility...' button. Tick the box next to 'Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages'.

In Netscape Navigator:

  1. On the 'View' menu click on 'Increase Font'. Do this twice if the text size is not affected the first time.
  2. Alternatively use the keyboard shortcuts. To increase text size press 'Ctrl' + '[' (square bracket), and to reduce the size press 'Ctrl' + ']' simultaneously.
