TIPS FOR LOW VISION USERS

To make it easier for people with low vision to use our site, you can change the font size automatically within our site by using the Change Font Size dropdown box on the left-side of every page.

If you have difficulty using other Internet sites, several features may be included in your existing system that may be helpful for people with low vision. Microsoft Windows users can go to www.microsoft.com/enable/guides/vision.htm for a step-by-step low vision tutorial for Windows (2000, 98, XP, and Me), Microsoft Word 2002 and 2000, Outlook 2002 and 2000, and Internet Explorer 5 and 6.

Apple also includes accessibility features as part of the Macintosh's system software (System 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x). You can download the Easy Access and CloseView utilities and get step-by-step instructions to help you install and operate these built-in features at ww.apple.com/disability/easyaccess.html.

A simple tip for low vision users of Internet Explorer: Go to 'View', 'Text Size' then select an option: smallest, smaller, medium, larger, or largest.

In Netscape Navigator: Go to 'View' and 'Increase Font' or 'Decrease Font' as desired.
