Adjust the text size

The website design now includes the facility to view pages with larger fonts, or to view it with a simplified format without images. These are intended to improve the accessibility options for visitors to the website.

Both these functions require Javascript to be enabled in your web browser. If you do not have a Javascript-enabled browser, then you will only be able to use your browser's built-in facilities to resize text.

Changing the text size

The text size can now be modified by clicking on the letter icons at the top each page, which have the following values:

  •  Default text size
  •  Medium text size
  •  Large text size

Note that this text resizing works independently of a browser's built-in text resizing, and is optimized to display our pages without problems of text legibility, overflow and wrapping. You can still use the browser resize function, but if exceptionally large or small fonts are used the page readability may be affected.

If you need to resize the text to a very large text size using a browsers built-in resizing, it may be better to switch to text view first to avoid the above issues.

Internet Explorer

  • Go to the drop down menu 'View'
  • Select 'Text size' and choose the font size you prefer

Firefox

  • Go to the drop down menu 'View'
  • Select 'Zoom' and choose 'Zoom in'

Changing to text view

If you want to view our pages in a simplified format, with minimal page styling and no images, you can use the new 'Text only' link at the top of each page. This toggles the page view between the 'normal' and 'text' views.

Please note that if you resize the text after using the Find search your results page will be reset and you will need to re-enter you search.
