WV.gov has gone to great lengths to see that our website will allow visitors to size the text in a web browser to meet their personal needs. For your convenience, we have added a font sizing tool to every page of the portal located in the 'Settings' icon, which floats to the right of every page. In the event you would like to further adjust your font size please refer to the instructions below for your specific web browser.

At the top of your browser window, select the menu icon (Customize and Control Google Chrome). Within the dropdown, there is the item 'Zoom'. Press the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the page zoom. Alternately,you can hold down the keyboard key labeled 'Ctrl' and press the keys '+' or '-' to increase or decrease the page zoom, respectively.

Resizing System Fonts
If you find the above approach does not fix a text size problem you are experiencing it is possible your machine may have unusual system font size settings (perhaps to compensate for a high resolution display setting). Do not adjust these unless you still experience unacceptable font sizes after you have adjusted you browser fonts and have made sure your browser will not override system font settings.
