You can alter the accessibility of these pages by changing the on-screen appearance of the text and background. Below are some suggestions. Note that all are reversible and do not affect images.
The Microsoft Internet Explorer browser
To apply the font and colour changes
on the Tools menu, select Internet Options
on the General tab, select Fonts in the Proportional and Fixed-width font lists
select the fonts you would like to use.
Changing the font
Using a sans serif font (such as Arial), rather than a serif font (such as Times New Roman) can make text easier to read.
Displaying text larger or smaller You can increase or decrease text size from the text size option in the View menu. Users of Internet Explorer 7 can also use the zoom facility on the right hand side of the status bar at the bottom of the browser window.
Changing text and background colours Certain combinations of fonts, typefaces and background colours can sometimes make text difficult to read. You can change these settings by choosing your own preferred, clearer colour scheme - black text on a yellow background gives the most contrast:
on the Tools menu, select Internet Options
on the General tab, select Colors
uncheck the tick box labelled Use Windows Colors
select Text, and select the colour you want. Select OK
select Background, and select the colour you want to use. Select OK.
on the General tab, select Accessibility
select Ignore colors specified on Web pages. Select OK.
To close images
on the Tools menu, select Internet Options
on the Advanced tab, scroll down to Multimedia
select Show pictures to remove the tick
select Apply, and then select OK.
To expand the size of the window to full screen, either:
