Changing font size for easier reading of websites

You can change the page magnification and the font size by using your keyboard.
 
On Windows computers:

  • Press Ctrl and the + symbol to increase magnification of the page.
  • Press Ctrl and the - symbol to decrease magnification of the page.

On Mac computers:

  • Press Command and the + symbol to increase the magnification of the page.
  • Press Command and the - symbol to decrease magnification of the page.

You can search the web for other options to increase font and character size. You can also change the display properties of your computer. Here is a list of search terms for performing a web search:

  • How to increase mouse pointer size
  • How to increase font size for a specific web browser (Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari)
  • How to modify the computer display to increase font size
  • How to use the magnifier associated with your operating system
  • How to use the magnifier on your mouse

Because the processes differ for the wide variety of available operating systems and browsers, offering specific instructions for all likely combinations is not practical. We encourage you to search for a solution that is appropriate for you.
