Accessibility - Text Size

Browser-specific instructions - Varying text size
The text size across the whole of The Hammond School website can be adjusted to ensure that it is easily read by those with low vision. The procedure for doing so differs from one browser to the next. The instructions below outline the procedure for some popular browsers. If your browser does not appear here, in general you will get somewhere by following these guidelines: looking under the "View" selection on the main menu, you should find an option called "Text Zoom" or "Text Magnification" or "Text Size" or "Font Size". From that point it should be relatively simple to find and select an additional sub menu option that adjusts text size to your needs.

If using Internet Explorer
Click on 'View' at the top of this window. 'View' will be between 'Edit' and 'Favourites', directly below the title bar. A drop-down menu will appear. One of the options will be 'vary text size'. Select this option. A list of different text sizes will appear to the right of the mouse. 'Medium' is the default size for text. By selecting other values, you can enlarge or reduce the text as you require. Once you have selected a size, the page will automatically be redrawn using the new sizing.

If using Netscape Navigator or Mozilla
Click on 'View' at the top of this window. 'View' will be between 'Edit' and 'Go', directly below the title bar. A drop-down menu will appear. There are two options: 'increase font', and 'decrease font'. Once you have selected an option, the page will automatically be redrawn using the new sizing.
Alternatively, you can press 'CTRL + ]' to increase the size, and 'CTRL + [' to decrease it.

If using Safari on a Macintosh press Command + to increase the size, and Command - to reduce the size.
