Notes on Text Size:
How big letters look on your screen depends on the way your computer is set up-how big your screen is, how your software is set up and any adaptive equipment is used.. In many web browsers you can easily change the font size by using the “View” menu, but in Internet Explorer you may need to change a setting if you want to enlarge the text.
If you are using Internet Explorer, please follow these instructions and you will be able to change the print size on your screen:
- Click the “Tools” menu
- Select “Internet Options...”
- Click the “Accessibility...” button (near the bottom on the right)
- Make sure the box “Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages” is checked
Once you make this change in your browser settings, you can go into the “View” menu in Internet Explorer, click “Text Size” and then select whichever size you like.
The Office of History at NIH strives to enable all users to access the content on this website.
