Enlarging the Page or Font Size
Many browsers now have the facility to enlarge the whole page not just the font size. This has the benefit of keeping the page layout as it was designed.
The instructions below show you how to enlarge and reduce the page. On older browsers this may only enlarge the font therefore you will see the page layout change.
If you just wish to increase the font size this can be done by accessing the settings in Options. This is usually found by accessing the menu Tools - Options.
For Internet Explorer 6+ and Firefox 3+ on PC
To enlarge the page hold down the Ctrl key and press the + button.
To reduce the page hold down the Ctrl key and press the - button.
For Safari (Mac)
To enlarge the page hold down the Apple key and press the + button.
To reduce the page hold down the Apple key and press the - button.
