Enlarging Text on the Web

Each browser is different, but here are some tips on text resizing in some of the most popular browsers:

Internet Explorer

  1. Go to the “View” menu
  2. Scroll down to “Text Size”
  3. Choose between “Largest, larger, medium, smaller and smallest” depending on your preference.

Firefox and Netscape

  1. Go to the “View” menu
  2. Scroll down to “Text Size”
  3. Choose between “Increase” and “Decrease” depending on your preference.

Note: This can also be done with a keyboard shortcut. If you’d like to increase the text size, hold down the “Ctrl” and hit ”+” twice (if you’re using a Mac, the process is to hold the Command key and hit ”+”.). To decrease, simply follow the same procedure and use the ”-” key instead of the ”+”. Learn more about changing text size in FireFox and Netscape on Mozilla’s website.

Safari

  1. Go to the “View” menu
  2. Choose between “Zoom In” and “Zoom Out” depending on your preference.
