We recommend that your browser be configured to open figures in a graphics viewer helper application. Please see Help with High-Resolution Image Viewing.

To view the PDF version of articles, you should have the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your hard disk and your browser should be configured to open PDF files in Acrobat. See the detailed instructions in Help with Printing.

Adjusting Font Size

To increase the font size your browser uses to display text, find the "Preferences" configuration area and increase the default font size. A common size is 12 point, but many people find that 14 is easier to read on screen.

The larger font size may cause undesired word wrapping. If text is affected adversely by increased font size, you may need to reset the default size to 12-point.

Finding a Word or Phrase in Text

The Find function in your browser can be used to find words or phrases within a single page. When viewing the full text of an article, move to the top of the article. Select Find and enter a string of characters to find.
