- Choose the size that you want from the Text Size menu; or
- Use Ctrl + or - to resize the text.

More help with accessibility
If you need further help in making your computer easier to use, AbilityNet and the BBC have developed some tutorials which tell you how to customise your computer to give you a better experience when using the web. For example, you can find out how to:
- change how information is shown on your screen, to get more on, or to see content more clearly
- change colours and fonts, a good idea if you have a visual impairment and need more contrast
- adapt the mouse, for example, to slow it down, make the pointer bigger, or if you are left-handed
- change a variety of keyboard settings, including the rate at which the cursor blinks.
Go to My Web My Way on the BBC Website to see the tutorials.
