You can specify the font sizes, styles, and
colors, and foreground and background colors of Web pages
displayed on your computer screen, even if the author of the Web
page has already specified these. You can also specify the color
used to indicate links in Web pages, or a special color for
links that is used only when the mouse passes over the link.
These customizations are useful if you have low
vision, need larger fonts, or need high-contrast colors. You can
set Internet Explorer to use the colors and fonts you specify,
the default Windows colors and fonts, or the settings you
specify in your own style sheet.
You can also choose other options affecting the
display of Web pages on your screen. All of these options are
accessed through Internet Options in Control
Panel.

Ignore Colors, Font
Styles, or Font Sizes Specified on Web Pages
You can turn off default colors, font styles, and
font sizes specified by Web authors and set Internet Explorer to
use alternate settings you select. If the author of a Web page
chooses different colors or font styles, the settings you choose
will override them. But, first, follow this procedure to set
Internet Explorer 6 to ignore colors, font styles, and font
sizes specified on Web pages through Internet Options in
Control Panel.
