Your enjoyment of the Internet is very largely influenced by how you see the material being presented. The way your computer and Browser are adjusted can have have a very significant effect on content presentation! The following material will allow you to optimise these adjustments.

The size of the text seen on a web page is mainly a function of three things, however other factors such as "Screen Refresh Rates" may also be involved.

The three main factors are:
(1) The Font Size set by the site designer.
(2) The "Text Size" adjustment of your own Browser.
(3) The "Screen Area" set for the screen you are using.

If you are not sure of your screen resolution right-click on your Desktop screen, select "Properties", then "Settings". The "Screen Area" value will be indicated in pixels, the larger value is the width, the smaller the height.

To adjust your Browser Text Size: Click "View" on the top Toolbar of your Browser, Select "Text Size" from the dropdown, Select "Medium" (See image opposite)

Text Size can be adjusted as desired to optimise your viewing comfort and the viewing conditions relevant your own screen. It can be adjusted right now, whilst you are reading this. You can be either "on" or "off-line".

Most websites are best viewed using the "Medium" setting as this is the Default setting on your Browser and is therefore used by most web programmers to plan the layout of web pages.
