Having trouble reading the small text on web sites? Many web sites are not designed with visual impairment in mind. Don't worry this doesn't mean you can't use or have a hard time using your computer.....

You can change your settings in both Iinternet Explorer and Firefox. By doing this, it will override fonts and colors on web pages. You can select a readable font and font size.

In Internet Explorer: Click Tools--Internet Options. On the General tab, click Accessibility. Select Ignore font styles specified on Web pages and Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages. Additionally, you can have Internet Explorer ignore colors. When you're done, click OK. Now click Fonts. Select a font that is easy for you to read and click OK--OK.

Next, you need to specify font size. To do this, click View--Text Size. Select the size of font you would like.

In Firefox: Click Tools--Options and click Content. In the Fonts & Colors section, click Advanced. Deselect Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above. Use the dropdown boxes to select the fonts and sizes you would like. You'll need to make selections in each of the categories. When you're done, click OK-OK.
