Resizing Text for Accessibility

Hi All,
I just set up my website using iweb. Everything works except that the user is not able to resize text via the web browser. My friend, who has experience testing sites for accessiblity, says that the text is "alt-text" rather than "real-text." Does anyone know how to change this so that my users will be able to change the text size using View in the browser window?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm not sure if I got it right but I'll try to answer. When you apply "effects" to your text ( like shadow e.t.c. ) it becomes an image which, of course none but you, can edit it. In order to see which text boxes aren't real text, you go to prefernces and you check "Show text imaging indicator". So when you have a text converted to image it shows a little yellow frame next to the box. In order to become text again all you have to do is to diselect the effects applied.

Ilias ~ I'm fairly sure the OP is pointing out that, even when the text has not been converted to a text-image, the text-text does not respond to browser commands to enlarge the text. So, for example, this iWeb site's text in the main body of the page has not been converted to an image:

...yet the text won't enlarge in response to browser commands. Contrast that with this Apple page (not made with iWeb) which does respond to browser commands to enlarge the text:
