Page Display
There are generally two
aspects of page display that you can change from within the browser
to make pages easier to read - text size and colours.
Text size
The text on this site can be adjusted by using your browsers text
size controls.
In Internet Explorer this is done by going to the top menu and
selecting 'View', then 'Text Size'. Medium is the usual setting, so
selecting Larger or Largest will increase the text size. Similarly
in Safari choose 'View' from the menu bar and 'Make Text
Bigger/Smaller' from the drop down list and 'View', ‘Text Size’ in
Firefox.
Colours
Most browsers allow you to change the colour of text and hyperlinks
using menus, usually accessible from Tools -> Options ->
Colours in Internet Explorer. Preferences -> Appearance ->
Colour in Safari and Preferences -> Content -> Fonts
& Colours in Firefox.
Your browsers 'Help' should give you further information about making these adjustments.

As well as making all graphic templates as accessible as possible we have made sure that when printed, the pages are automatically formatted to print appropriately a printed document.
