Changing the text size & colours

To temporarily change the text size in your browser there are 3 different ways:

  1. Select View and then Text size (or text zoom in some browsers)
  2. Do you have a mouse with a scrolling wheel on it? If yes, you can easily enlarge or reduce the size of text on screen. To enlarge text, hold down the control key while rotating the mouse wheel towards you. To reduce text size hold down Control and spin the wheel away from you. This will step you through a range of 4 text sizes.
  3. Open the View menu by pressing Alt+V then select the Text Size option with the mouse or by pressing X. Choose your preferred text size with the mouse or by using the up and down arrow keys and pressing Enter or by clicking on it.
