How do access keys work?

Windows users can navigate with the accesskey feature by holding down the ALT key and then the appropriate accesskey.

Mac users should use CTRL and the accesskey (not COMMAND and the accesskey, which can produce undesired effects). Internet Explorer users may also need to press the “enter” key to activate a link.

Text size

Most modern web browsers allow you to change the size of the text to make it easier to read. Unfortunately there is no standard way to do this however we have included some of the more common ones below:

Internet Explorer version 5 onwards for Windows

Use the drop down menu item view followed by choose text size and select large or largest. You can also use the shortcut CTRL (control) and the + (plus) key to enlarge or the CTRL (control) and the - (minus) key to reduce. CTRL and 0 (zero) resets to normal size.

Firefox for Windows

Press the control key (CTRL) and the + (plus) key to enlarge and control and the - (minus) key to reduce. CTRL and 0 (zero) resets to normal size.

Safari for Mac

Apple or command key and the + (plus key) to enlarge and the commande key and the - (minus) key to reduce. Command and 0 (zero) resets to normal size.

Firefox for Mac

Apple or command key and the + (plus key) to enlarge and the commande key and the - (minus) key to reduce. Command and 0 (zero) resets to normal size.
