Title: Another one of those questions ......
Post by: liverpool annie on Friday 08 January 10 05:29 GMT (UK)

If I'm sitting reading a website and the font is too small ... how do I make it bigger ?? or can I ?

(Take it slow ... I'm a computer duck !!  ::) ::) )

Hi

Using Internet Explorer, Select View (on bar towards top of screen) then Text Size and then change to suit. I leave mine on Larger.

Hi Annie,

If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can click on CTRL and roll the wheel to the size you want.


Cheers

I asked the question because my relative was looking at my website and wanted me to make the fonts bigger ... I told her she could do it herself ... but then she asked how ?  :P

How the heck do I know ??  :-\

But it maybe a good idea for me too ... come to think of it !!  :D

I didn't know about holding the CTRl and rolling the wheel :)  but I stumbled across a thread where the size of font was mentioned and BB had mentioned doing that :D


Cheers
KHP :D

I hold down the control button and tap on the plus (+) button to make it bigger then the - button to make it smaller. This is just the same as using the mouse wheel.

Oh, nearly forgot - control 0 (zero) resets it back to normal.

regards,

Jim
