Change the Help Browser Settings

The help browser uses your operating system's settings for the font colors, styles, and sizes. Users with visual impairments can change some of these settings to increase the readability of the documentation.

In addition, on Windows platforms using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the help browser uses a component of Internet Explorer to display documentation. The changes you make to the display settings of Internet Explorer also affect the help display.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer. Select Internet Options from the Tools menu.

    The Internet Options dialog appears.

  2. Click Colors, Fonts, or Accessibility to set the formatting options you want.

    The Accessibility dialog appears.

  3. (Optional) Specify a cascading style sheet (CSS) on the Accessibility dialog.

    Click OK.

    The Internet Options dialog closes.

  4. Close the Internet Explorer.

    The changes you made take effect immediately.

  5. Restart the Diagram Trace Utility, open the Help perspective, and browse the documentation.

    You should see the new font and color settings applied.

Note: For more information about creating a CSS, consult a CSS reference. The W3 Consortium (www.w3.org) has an extensive collection of information about CSS and links to valuable resources.
