Can I increase the font size in WebDewey (or Abridged WebDewey)?

Of course you can! You can do this through your browser, your display or both.

To enlarge the font size in your IE browser, go to View-->Text size--> and select an option from the list. (Options are smallest, small, medium, large, largest). In the Mozilla Firefox browser, go to View--> Increase text size, and repeat if necessary. In the Netscape browser, go to View-->Text Zoom--> and select Larger or one of the available percent-based options.

To enlarge the font size in your display, you effectively reduce the screen 'real estate.' To increase the font size in your display for your Windows-based system, select Control Panel-->Display-->Settings-->and select a resolution that's smaller (i.e., with smaller numbers) than what it's set to now. So if your resolution is set to 1024x768, you may want to move the adjustor left and select 800x600 instead. To increase the font size in your Mac, under the Apple menu, click System Preferences-->click Show All-->under the Hardware Section--> click Displays-->In the Resolution section of the screen, select a smaller resolution (again, smaller resolution means less screen 'real estate' and so larger fonts).
