# Changing the Font Size

CPRS supports 8, 10, 12, 14, and 18 point font sizes. Font sizes larger than 18 point, make CPRS difficult for the user to n avigate. If the user requires font sizes larger than 18 point, then the use of font magnification software, such as Windows Magnifier or other similar tools is recommended.

Changing the size of the fonts used in CPRS is a two-step process. The instruction s in CPRS Windows and Dialog Boxes will change the size of most of the fonts displayed in CPRS windows and dialog boxes. However, to change the font size used for CPRS menus and Windows alert boxes, you will also need to follow the steps in CPRS Menu s and Windows Alert boxes.

CPRS Windows and Dialog Boxes

You can adjust the font size for most windows and dialog boxes that appear in CPRS. If you change the font size, some screen components will be resized to fit the new font size. If this occurs, you will need to manually resize some dialog boxes and screen components. CPRS will save the dimensions for the resized components so you will only have to resize them once.

1. Select Edit | Preferences | Fonts and choose the appropriate font size.

The font size will be changed.
