The STARTREK.COM site design is intended to present a lot of information in a visually pleasing yet compact manner, which most users find easy to use. For some users, the small size of the text might be challenging. The following steps will allow you to make the text appear larger on your computer.
WARNING: making the text larger might cause some of the page designs to "break" — that is, some areas of the page might expand beyond their intended dimensions and no longer line up with other areas. The site should still work just fine, it just won't be as pretty as we intended it to be. Use at your own risk!
