Larger Text Size and Work Area

Several quick and easy adjustments can be made to your browser to make more (or less) information appear on a page, and to make text larger (or smaller).  With a little experimenting you can find the settings that work best for you.

Adjust Screen Resolution
You may experiment with raising your screen resolution from 640x480 pixels (text is larger but less is seen on the screen) to 800x600 or 1024x768 pixels (more text is in view, but it is smaller).

 In Windows:

  • Click the Start button from the task bar.
  • Click Settings
  • Click Control Panel
  • Double click on Display
  • Click the Settings tab
  • Slide the Screen Resolution bar left and right to the setting you like best.
  • Click Apply
  • Click OK

Adjust Text Size in your Browser.
WebTycho color and font sizes were carefully designed for best viewing with default settings. However, if you wish, you may set your browser to display text larger or smaller.

Maximize Windows
To have fewer scroll bars (both horizontal and vertical), maximize your browser window when you are working in your classroom.  This is particularly helpful when creating or editing text.

To use the third-party software, you must agree to the terms and conditions imposed by the third party provider and the agreement to use such software will be solely between you and the third party provider.
