Changing the size of the text on this website
To change the text size use the text size options at the top right of each page.
- For smaller text, select the small, left-hand letter A
- For bigger text, select the large, right-hand letter A
- To return the text size to the default setting, select the middle letter A
You may also be able to adjust the text size using the settings in your browser. This setting is usually called text size, text zoom, or zoom, depending on which browser you use.
PDF documents
There are links on this site to PDF documents, some of which are located on external websites. To view PDF documents you will need to install a PDF reader. There are several different PDF readers that you can download and install free of charge — for example Adobe Reader .
Adobe Reader lets you extract the text of a PDF document and save it as a text file. This is useful if you want to read the document on a note-taker or emboss the file with a Braille printer.
You may like to look at Adobe's guide to accessing PDF documents with assistive technology (note that this is itself a PDF document).
