Practical help with adjusting the settings in your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser to make the screen easier to read
Increasing the size of the text
Some users find screen text easier to read by increasing the size that the text is displayed.
To do this in Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the 'View menu', select 'Text Size' and then select either 'Larger' or 'Largest'.
Changing the display on the screen
Tick the box 'Ignore colors specified on Web pages'
Internet Explorer provides other ways in which you can fine-tune how a ShapingSuccess page displays on your screen.
For example you can remove the background colours and choose which colours to have text, links and visited links displayed.
- You can make these changes by:
Going to the 'Tools' menu at the top of the page
Selecting 'Internet Options...' from that menu
Clicking the 'Accessibility...' button
Then tick the box 'Ignore colors specified on Web pages'.
Then click the 'OK' button. This will switch off the background colours in ShapingSuccess.
You can choose the colours of text and links
Un-tick the box 'Use Windows colors'. You can then specify which colours you would prefer to be displayed for the text and for links.
You can also specify colours to be used for links your have previously visited and links when your mouse hovers over them.
