How to change text size
You can change text size on your web browser. Please remember that this setting will remain until you change it back yourself, so every website you view after you change these settings will be in the text size you have selected, possibly even after you have turned off and restarted your computer.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 browser
On the menu at the top of the browser, go to View> Text Size> and select the size you require.
On Explorer 4, click 'Internet Options' on the View or Tools menu> on the General Tab click 'Fonts'> Select your preferred text size.
Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera browsers
Holding down the 'Ctrl' key on your keyboard and scrolling the page either up or down with your mouse will make text size bigger or smaller.
Netscape Navigator 4 browser
Go to View> and select either Increase or Decrease font. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to do this in Netscape; 'Ctrl + ] ' for increase and 'Ctrl + [' for decrease.

How to change your screen resolution
Changing your screen resolution will change the size of everything on your screen, including your software programmes - it's not just for enlarging text on websites. Once you change the resolution, please remember that it will stay at this setting until you change it back yourself. You can maximise the size of the window in the Internet Explorer browser by going to View> Full Screen, or pressing the F11 button on your keyboard. To restore the window to its original size, click on the 'Restore' button at the top right hand corner of the screen (the one which shows two small, overlapping squares.)
How to view the site without images
This website should still be usable if images are turned off. If you are using an Internet Explorer browser, you can go to View or Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> in the Multimedia section, remove the tick next to 'Show Pictures'> Click 'Apply'> Click 'OK'.
All our images are provided with appropriate ALT tags, to serve as a text alternative to images when required.
