Changing Text Size

If you find the text too large or too small, you can adjust this through your browser:

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer go to the ‘View’ menu at the top of your screen. Click on ‘Text Size’ and select ‘Larger’ or ‘Largest’

If you are using Mozilla, you can change the text size by selecting the ‘View’ menu. Click on ‘Text Zoom’ and select ‘Smaller’ or ‘Larger’

If you are using Netscape Navigator, you can change the text size by selecting the ‘View’ menu, then ‘Increase Font’ or ‘Decrease Font’

Although this will make the print on all of the web pages look larger, the images will stay the same size. This will only change the size of the text in your web browser. However, if you prefer, you can change the settings on your computer always to show text larger

Changing Display Properties

By changing the ‘resolution’ setting you can make text and images look either larger or smaller all the time. Petprotect.co.uk is designed to be viewed at a screen resolution of 800 x 600.

On PC, go to the ‘Start’ menu and select ‘Settings’. When you are given further options select the ‘Control Panel’ folder. The ‘Control Panel’ folder will then appear on your screen.

At this point you should select the ‘Display’ icon.

Next click on the ‘Settings’ tab on the top of your page. You will see a box labelled ‘Desktop Area’. Move the slide across so that the ‘800 by 600 pixels’ is displayed. Finally, click on the ‘OK’ button.

On an Apple Macintosh, you can use the Monitor & Sound Control Panel to change the resolution.
