Increasing the size of the text

If you prefer the font size on the Vital pages to be larger or smaller, you can control this using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to change the size of font displayed on screen either permanently or temporarily. How you increase the font often depends upon your browser.

For most browsers, you can change font size by:

• Selecting View from the menu bar
• Selecting Text Size
• Increasing or decreasing the text size as necessary

Alternatively:

1. Use CTRL and + to increase the text size
2. Use CTRL and - to decrease the text size

If you have a mouse with a mouse wheel:

• Hold down the CTRL key and rotate the mouse wheel to increase/decrease text size

Visit your browser's help feature for additional information on this and other browser related topics.

Filling in forms

When filling in any online form we would recommend the following:

• Read all of the form carefully before attempting to fill it in
• When you do fill the form in you may find it more useful to turn Virtual PC Cursor off if you are using the JAWS screen reader (version 3.3 and above)
• Once you have filled the form in, turn Virtual PC Cursor back on and check what you have entered
• Then submit the form
