Questions About This Site

 
Q: The text on the PP-CS site is very small. How can I change that?
A: You can alter the way the text is displayed in your browser (in Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) by going to the View menu > Text Size (or Text Zoom) and increasing the setting there. For reasons we have not yet uncovered, a small percentage of our Internet Explorer users' browsers are set to display text "smaller" without those users' consent!
