Want to see this page with larger text? Then do the following

If you have trouble reading the text on any website you can increase its size by following the simple procedure outlined below. You can reset the size (to the original level) by reversing the process.

Internet Explorer

If you are using the Internet Explorer browser by Microsoft, CLICK on "View" in the main menu bar. It has "Edit" and "File" to the left and "Favourites", "Tools" and "Help" to the right.

In the sub-menu box (a mini window) that appears, CLICK on "Zoom" (it is about half way down the list).

When you CLICK on "Zoom" a further little box will appear with a number of screen size options. Select the one that you want. You can increase the page size by anything between 125% to 400%.

You can also increase the page (and print) size by pressing the "control" (Ctrl) key (to the bottom left of the keyboard) simultaneously with the "+" key (near the top right of the keyboard). If you PRESS the "control" key with the "-" key the page (and print) will get smaller (i.e. zoom out).

Mozilla Firefox

If you are using Mozilla Firefox you follow the same basic procedure as that used above for Internet Explorer. The only difference is that once you have opened the "Zoom" box you have a more limited choice of zooming options. You can however choose to increase the print size only (i.e. not the overall page).

You can also PRESS the "control" (Ctrl) key (bottom left of the keyboard) simultaneously with the "+" key (near the top right) to zoom in, or PRESS the "control" key with the "-" key to zoom out (i.e. the page will get smaller).

Other web browsers

If you are using an internet browser other than those mentioned above, you need to look for "View" in the main menu bar and apply the same logic as described above, i.e. selecting "Zoom" or a similar size increasing term in the subsequent pop-up window. Alternatively the "control"(Ctrl) key combined with the "+" or "-" key combinations work with most browsers.

These procedures should work on all websites, they are reversible and they do not affect any of your other settings.
