Text size and colour
Q. Can I change font sizes and the colours of the website?
A. Yes, this may be useful for you if you have low vision
and need larger fonts or high contrast colours. You can change the font
size, style and colour, and choose an alternative colour for links. You
can also change background and foreground colours.
Q. How do I do that on a PC?
A. If using Internet Explorer / Netscape or Firefox
on a PC, select the View menu at the top of your window. To change font
size, scroll down and select the Text size or Text zoom option and select
as needed.
To ignore font and background colours if using Internet Explorer, choose
the Internet options from the Tools menu at the top of the window. On
the general tab of the window that appears, click the Accessibility button.
This takes you to a menu where you can choose to ignore the way the page
is formatted. Then return to the Internet options menu, and use the Colours
and Fonts buttons to set your preferences.
Q. How do I do change text size on an Apple Mac?
A. From Internet Explorer, select Preferences from the
Edit menu at the top of the window. From there, click on Web content and
uncheck the Show style sheets option. Then return to the list of preferences
and choose Web browser. Then click on Language / fonts and choose the
size you need.
Keyboard navigation
Q. Do I have to use a mouse to navigate the website?
A. No, use your arrow keys to scroll up or down the
page. You can use your Tab key to move between links, and press Return
or Enter to select one. To go back to the previous page, use the Backspace
key.
