Controlling text size and colours

• You can specify the font sizes, styles and colours and foreground and background colours of web pages displayed on your computer screen, even if the author of the web page has already specified these. You can also specify the colour used to indicate links in web pages, or a special colour for links that are used only when the mouse passes over the link.

• This is useful if you have low vision, need larger fonts, or need high-contrast colours. You can set Internet Explorer to use the colours and fonts you specify, your default Windows colours and fonts, or the settings you specify in your own style sheet.

• If you use the Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers to view the Internet, the following guidelines will enable you to enlarge the size of the text and control the colours on your screen.
