Adjusting text size

To change text and zoom settings in your browser:

  • In Internet Explorer 7 and 8, you can use the Page Zoom feature:
    • In IE7 click Tools then Zoom.

    • Alternatively, hold down the Ctrl key and at the same time, push the - or + key.
    • Alternatively, hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel (if you have one).
  • Internet Explorer 6 has very poor text handling capabilities; if you have issues with text size we recommend upgrading to IE8 or switching to another browser.
