Users of Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers may like to know that there are steps they can take to enlarge text and set
colours when viewing Web sites. The following may be helpful :

To set font size if you use Netscape Navigator :
Select Edit, then Preferences from the menu
Open the Appearance group and click Fonts
Make sure that it says Western next to For the Encoding so that your computer will know which letters and symbols types
to use. Select 18 from Size
In the drop down list next to Variable Width Font field select 'Arial'. Check that the The Fixed Width Font box is already
set at 'Courier New' . Select 18 from Size
So that your computer will use the above specifications rather than those specified in the Web page you are viewing, select
Use my Default Fonts Overriding Document Specified Fonts and click OK
To control colours if you use Netscape Navigator :
Select Edit then preferences from the menu
Open the Appearance group and click Colours
Select a color button of your choice to change text, background, unvisited links, or visited links.
So that your computer will use the above specifications rather than those specified in the Web page you are viewing, select
Always Use My Colours, Overriding Document and click 'OK'
Accessibility Options in Netscape Navigator:
If you are involved in designing accessible web sites, then you need to test out your site in Netscape using these options
to check on the design and layout.
To access most of the accessibility options that you can change in Netscape Navigator, select "Edit" from the
main top menu, then "Preferences".
To override text and background colours- select "Advanced" and uncheck the box that says "Enable style
sheets". Then at the top, under "Appearance", select "Colors". You can then change the text and background
colours to suit your needs.
Changing fonts - select "Edit" from the main top menu, then "Preferences" then "Appearance".
Now click on fonts and you can choose whichever font you like to display the web page. But this option will only work if you
have already disabled the style sheet as described above.
Changing font sizes - just select "View" from the top menu, then either choose "Increase Font" or
"Decrease Font".
Turning off graphics and images - I always find this rather tricky in Netscape. From the "Edit" menu at the
top, select "Preferences", then "Advanced". One of the options which is normally "ticked" is
"Automatically load images". If you uncheck that box, then all images should be replaced by small image icons, but
the actual graphics are not downloaded. However, this does seem to be a bit erratic at times.
