How to increase the size of the print on the pages

Some people may find the type size used on these pages to be too small. The type you read is a combination of the page design, you monitor settings, and your browser.

The good news is that it's easy to change the size of the words -- and you can use this trick for any site you visit.

Internet Explorer (Microsoft)

Look at the top of your browser, where there is a list of words that indicate the different menus available -- File, Edit, View...

• Click on VIEW, which will show you a menu
• Click on TEXT SIZE
• Click on LARGER or LARGEST

The text size should immediately change. If you chose larger, and it's still too small, click on largest.

Changing the size in this way can throw off some of the formatting, depending on the way a Web page is designed, but you should be able to read the articles just fine.

Netscape

Look at the top of your browser, where there is a list of words that indicate the different menus available -- File, Edit, View...

• Click on VIEW, which will show you a menu
• Click on TEXT SIZE
• You now have two choices: you can either click on LARGER, which will increase the text size to the next largest available, or you can click on a PERCENTAGE to enlarge the text

The text size should immediately change. If you chose larger, and it's still too small, click on largest.
