Get the browser view right for you!
Are the letters in your browser too
tiny
or too
large?
Are you forced to
scroll to the RIGHT to read all the
text? To adjust your screen layout:
Point to your browser's menu bar and click View, then
Text Size and make
your choice. This works in
both MS Internet Explorer and Netscape. (Note: In
old versions of MS
Internet Explorer, go to View, then Fonts)
Have a mouse with a wheel? Here's an alternative to the above
method. Hold the
Ctrl key
down, then roll the mouse wheel towards you to enlarge the
font on your
web page.
Move the wheel away to reduce font. This works on most Windows
operating
systems.
Another
method can accomplish the same effect, but will alter the
resolution not
only on your browser, but on every
application on your PC. Right-click on your
desktop. On the resulting menu, select Properties, then the
Settings tab. In the
'Screen Area' section, choose a larger
or
smaller setting. This is
counter-intuitive! For example, if your setting is 1024x768,
changing it to
800x600 will enlarge
fonts. You can return to the original settings
anytime by
going through this
process again.
This
web was built to look best with the common screen resolution
of 800 x 600.
Screen glare? Low vision? You can change to a dark background
on all web pages, but the setting will apply to all Windows
applications. If you try this, you can easily undo the
settings any time. (Directions for MS Internet Explorer
only)
Step 1. Changing the Microsoft Windows display appearance:
Right-click on your desktop, choose Properties. In Display
Properties, choose the Appearance tab, then select
the Scheme drop-down arrow and choose High Contrast
Black. At the bottom, click OK.
Step 2. Changing your browser's settings: In your
browser window, choose Tools menu, then Internet Options. At
bottom right, click Accessibility. In Accessibility
box, check the box "Ignore Colors Specified on Web
Page," then click OK. (Note: Internet
Options is under View menu in old browsers)
All web pages will now have a black
background!
REVERSING:
If you no longer want the High Contrast, be sure to reverse
the settings on both Display Properties and in the
browser. The "Ignore Colors" setting in the
browser's Accessibility box can effect your computer's desktop
wallpaper if still checked!)
