Changing text size

Just below the main menu at the top of each page is a pale grey bar with 'Text size' written on the right hand side. Click on the buttons next to this to change the text size. The button on the left makes text smaller, the button on the right makes it bigger and the central button returns it to the original size.

Alternatively, you can make the text larger or smaller by changing the settings on your browser. To do so, follow the instructions below:

  • Internet Explorer
    Go to the 'View' menu at the top of the browser window. Select 'Text size' and select your desired text size setting e.g. select larger, smaller. Alternatively, if you have a mouse with a scroll-wheel, hold down the 'Control' key (Ctrl) on your keyboard and use the mouse scroll-wheel to change the text size.

  • Mozilla Firefox
    Go to the 'View' menu at the top of the browser window. Select 'Text size' and select 'Increase' or 'Decrease' to go one size up or down.
