If you have trouble reading the print on Web pages, you can easily change the size of the font to fit your needs.

If you have a wheel mouse hold and keep down the control (Ctrl) key and then turn the wheel on your mouse to adjust the size of the text until it fits your requirements. To fit page to full screen hit the F11 key.

Changing font sizes in your web browser is easy. Instructions will vary from browser to browser. If you get really stuck, go to your browser's help menu (usually the button furthest right in any program). From there you should be able to get help on any problem you have.
