This website offers the option for it to be viewed in different text sizes. Two icons allow you to select the different size text and are on each page at the top. The font-size will increase or decrease incrementally as you click one of the icons.

The font size tool does not use javascript so you need not enable it if you want to change your font size.

You can also alter the size of the screen fonts using the tools built in to most modern web browsers:

• Internet Explorer (all Windows versions): Go to the 'View' menu, 'Text Size', and select your desired setting. The default is medium. Alternatively, if you have a mouse with a wheel you can hold the CTRL key on your keyboard whilst scrolling up or down with the wheel to alter the text size.
• Firefox (Mac and PC): Go to the 'View' menu, 'Zoom', and increase or decrease the text size using the menu.  Alternatively you can use the option key with + or - to increase or decrease the text size.
• Apple Safari: Go the 'View' menu and use the 'Make Text Bigger' and 'Make Text Smaller' menu items. Alternatively you can use the option key with + or - to increase or decrease the text size.
• Netscape 7 + (Mac and PC): Go to the 'View' menu and use the 'Text Zoom' feature to change text size. Alternatively you can use the CTRL key with the plus or minus to increase or decrease the size.
• Mozilla (i.e. Firefox / Camino, Mac and PC): Go to the 'View' menu and either click the 'Increase Text Size' or 'Decrease Text Size' menu items, or alternatively you can use the CTRL key with the plus or minus to increase or decrease the size.

The purpose of this feature is provide the user with a simple link that will convert a page into a printer friendly version (no dark backgrounds, no navigation), retain some of the essential formatting (images, headers) and send a print command to the users printer. Click the 'Print Version' icon at the top of the page to access this function.

You may notice that this website uses the Flash plugin. It does so only for typographical / aesthetic reasons: if you do not have the Flash plugin installed, you will see exactly the same content.

In order to provide good accessibility some compromises have to be made in terms of full support for certain older browsers which do not support web standards, or support them unreliably or unpredictably. We strongly recommend that you use only the following browsers:

Windows:

• Internet Explorer 7 - available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp [3]. Most people have this on their Windows-based PCs already. If you don't have Internet Explorer, or if you have a version earlier than version 7, you should consider obtaining one of the Mozilla browsers (see below) instead, because they are small and quick to download.
• Mozilla Firefox 2, or the latest version - available at http://www.mozilla.org/ [4]
• Netscape 8 (in Internet Explorer or Firefox rendering mode)
• Opera 9 or above

Apple Mac:

• Apple Safari - available at http://www.apple.com/safari/ [5]
• Mozilla Camino / Firefox - all available at http://www.mozilla.org/ [6]

Linux:

• Mozilla Firefox - available at http://www.mozilla.org/ [7]

The following browsers are not recommended on any platform - they will show the website but may not display the pages optimally:

• Internet Explorer > 7 (Not supported on the Mac)
• Firefox > 2
• Opera > v9 (Mac or PC)
• Netscape > v8 (Mac or PC)
• Konqueror (Linux, any version)

We appreciate that it might not seem easy or desirable to have constantly to upgrade your browser! If you do have an older browser, or one not on the list above, and you are unable or unwilling to change it, rest assured you will still be able to use the site, but you will not have the best viewing experience. Additionally most accessibility enhancements will not be available to you. Netscape 4 users may only view the site in text-only mode. We therefore again strongly recommend you upgrade your browser. If you'd like to read more about why this is a good idea more generally, visit the Web Standards Project [8].
