Tips on Using the City of Nuremberg Website  

	Changing Font Size
	PDF Documents
	Search Options
	Printing
	Symbols Used

The following hints are intended to help you navigate our website and have quick and easy access to the information which is of interest to you.

Changing Font Size

You can easily scale all texts on our website, i.e. you can display them in a smaller or larger font size.
There are two ways of increasing or decreasing the font size:

• In your browser, select:
  Internet Explorer: Display > Font Size
  Firefox: Display > Font Size
  Mozilla: Display > Text Zoom
  Opera: Display > Zoom Factor
  and choose the desired font size.
• Some browsers also allow you to press the key combination <Ctrl> <+> or <Ctrl> <-> to increase or decrease font size.

 

PDF Documents

Since browsers only permit unsatisfactory display of diagrams, long lists and longer texts, we provide the option of downloading such documents in pdf format. This format is independent of operating systems, but will require an additional program.

You can either open pdf documents directly or save them on your hard disk:

• To open a pdf file, simply click on the link in the text. This will open up a new window where the file will be loaded. Depending on file size and internet access used, this may take a few seconds or minutes.
• In order to save a pdf file, right-click on the link in the text. Select "Save in…" and then select the folder where the file is to be saved.

 

Search Options

The "Sitemap" gives you an overview of the content of our website.

If you are looking for something in particular, you can use the search function. Enter one or more terms in the search window at the top right hand corner, and then click on the button with the magnifying glass symbol ("Start Search"). All pages of the City of Nuremberg website and of all City departments will be searched for these terms.
