The URL is: <http://members.aol.com/PennaDutch/pennadutch.html> > > > >Hi Mary: I'm no computer expert, but I think if you are using a browser such as Netscape, you can click on "Options" and then on "General Preferences" and from there you can make changes to any webpage you want: you can change the background color and the text color,etc. I'm not sure if there's much you can do to change the size of the text though. However, if you go out of the web and find your mouse icon, you also might be able to configure your mouse so that, when you want, it will pop-up a tiny "Magnifying lens" which will allow you to see the lettering greatly enlarged. (I don't know if I've explained this very well; it's early, and I haven't had my morning cup of coffee yet). If you need more details let us know what browser you use and the type of mouse you have; hopefully somebody will be able to help you, or email me and I'll try to come up with a clearer explanation.
