Troubleshooting
Making the
text larger
There are two ways to change the text size on your monitor:
using options built into your browser, or changing the
resolution of your screen. With the Internet Explorer
browser, use the "View" menu to change text size. (On
a PC, you may also need to look in the "Tools" menu, select
"Internet Options-Accessibility," and check "ignore font
sizes specified.") With Netscape, you can make the text
larger by simultaneously holding down the Ctrl and + keys
on a PC or by holding down the Cmd and + keys on a Mac.
To change the resolution on a PC, right-click on the desktop
and choose "Properties." Then, select the "Settings" tab
and change the "Screen Area" slider. To change the resolution
on a Mac running OS X, choose "System Preferences" from
the "Apple" menu or the Dock. Select "Displays." Change
the selection under "Resolutions." On a Mac running OS
9, select "Control Panels > Monitors" from the Apple menu.
Change the selection for the "Resolution."
