Text Size & How to change it
UK Wheelchairs uses relative font sizes, which most modern web browsers are able to resize to user requirements. All web site styling and positioning is handled through Cascading Style Sheets; if your web browser or reading device does not support CSS, the content of each page will still be readable.
Holding down the "Ctrl or Strg" key and scrolling with the mouse ball at the same time enables you to change the size of the visible text. Another method is to hold down the "Ctrl or Strg" key and then press the " - or + " key
These methods work in both the Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox browser. Using this method in Opera has a different effect, it magnifies or decreases the size of the viewable page.
