Keyboard navigation

This website allows users to navigate using only the keyboard. You can navigate the website by pressing the Tab key, which is usually on the left side of the keyboard. Each time you press a key, the cursor moves to the next item on the page, such as links to other pages or buttons relevant to the page. The focused element is highlighted by a color change and looks like a framed box. Press "Enter" to activate this item (i.e. "click on it").

Font size

With the browser

All popular browsers allow you to zoom in and out by pressing Ctrl and the "+" or "-" keys. Or hold down the Ctrl key and scroll up or down with the mouse wheel.

On your operating system

Windows 10 and Windows 7 have a magnifier - a program that allows you to zoom in. Press the ‘Start’ menu and type ‘Magnifier’ (“Start” > “Magnifier”) and press Enter. A small overlay window appears that you can move the mouse to zoom in on all its contents at different distances.

Apple On computers, go to Apple> System Preferences> Accessibility (or Universal Access)> Zoom (Apple menu> System Preferences> Accessibility (or Universal Access)> Zoom).

In Windows XP, go to Start> All Programs> Accessories> Accessibility> Magnifiers (Start> All Programs> Accessories> Accessibility> Magnifier).

Using a screen reader

A screen reader is software that tries to identify and interpret what is displayed on a screen. This interpretation is then repeated to the user in audio form or via a Braille display.
