Increasing the size of the text

If you have difficulty reading the text on our website, you may want to increase text size. This can be done easily by changing a setting on your internet browser:-

  • Internet Explorer users should click View > Text Size > ...  and select from the options
  • Netscape users should click View > Increase Font

Text Only

The 'Text Only' feature (at the top left of each web page) allows you to view any page without graphics or extra formatting.

This feature is particularly useful to visually impaired visitors who often use screen reading software to have web pages 'read' to them.  It's also helpful if you have a slow internet connection because loading pages without graphics is much quicker.
