Abstract
A data processing system for accessing documents including hypertext links (80) with an associated initial display text is provided with a mechanism for applying one or more predetermined rules (94) to the initial displayed text to determine whether or not that initial displayed text has characteristics indicative of being insufficiently readable by a user. Upon detection of such characteristics, the system responds by replacing (100) the initial display text with further text selected in dependence upon the link data item.
