To Adjust Text Size on Screen

Have difficulty reading smaller text sizes?  You can adjust the size of displayed text on your own computer monitor to make it easier to read.

The NSLEO site is currently a 12 point Arial font but you can increase it in your Internet Explorer browser by clicking on:

• View in the menu bar at the top of the browser
• Position your mouse pointer on Text Size
• The small triangular arrow pointing to the right will reveal a secondary, drop down menu so that you can select from:
  • Larger or Largest

Remember that adjusting text size will make the page rearrange itself; graphics and other images may move around as the larger text re-wraps itself around the page items.

To Adjust Screen Schemes

You can also adjust the overall size of your Windows display, which will affect how all programs appear, not just your web browser.

• Minimize or close all your Windows until you can see the main Desktop, or screen background.
• Click the right hand mouse button on a blank part of the screen i.e. some place without an icon or shortcut.
• A drop down menu should appear; select Properties at the bottom.
• Various tabs should appear that affect the screen properties; click on the Appearance tab.
• There should be a small example of how your current settings look, colours and so on.
• Three menus with drop down arrows control Windows & Buttons, Colour Scheme and Font Size.
• You can experiment with these menus to see how the different schemes display until you find the right size and colours for you.
• Click Ok to apply the changes or Cancel or X to discard changes.
