Computer Question...
« on: January 12, 2010, 03:06:36 PM »
My font size on my web pages are almost unreadable due to the small size!
This happened a couple a days ago and can't correct it. My Browser - AOL is normal (fonts). It's like I'm being directed to a different (thingy?) every time I sign on. Tried changing IE and AOL font sizes, no help.
No clue how this plastic box works.  HB~>

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

Hit "Cntl" "+" until the type is big enough to read.
Yes, 'Cntl" "-" makes it smaller.

And if you have a small finger wheel on the top of your mouse, you can hold 'CTRL" and rotate it as well to change the font size.

That's where most inadvertently change the font size.   y1

OK fixed! But it wasn't Ctrl/ +...it was under IE "View" tab, "Text Size".
Ctrl/ + is  zoom feature I believe. Frustrating.

   On almost any browser I am aware of, it's in the menu bar.

In the newer versions of IE it isn't on the menu bar by default, you have to add it if you want it from the tools icon. Not sure why I keep using IE 7 it's really not user friendly at all and even have FireFox on most of my computers. Guess old habits just die hard...
