If you would like to increase or decrease the size of the text on the site most browsers support the keyboard shortcuts Control/+ or Control/- to adjust text size. If you have a mouse with a central wheel, holding the Control key while rolling this wheel usually scales text. For control via browser menus:
In Internet Explorer, choose ‘View > Text zoom’.
In Mozilla or Netscape 6+, choose ‘View > Increase Text Size’.
In Opera, choose ‘View > Zoom’. You can also use the Zoom drop-down in the top right.
