PEV Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Hi all. Am still getting used to windows 8 having previously had XP. I miss the tool bar at top of page with such things a 'file' view etc how do I get a toolbar if possible? A major iritation for me is the text on FreePC Help is now to small for me to read comfortably to read and if I had said tallber I bould hpefully click 'view' and change size of texts, Any suggestions please? Also is there a spell check option on this forum? Thanks Ray Quote
KenB Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Hi Ray If you have a mouse with a scroll button ....you can hold CTRL down and use the scroll to make the text larger. Or Right click on an empty part of the Desktop > Personalize Then click on Display ( bottom left ) > Adjust Resolution > Slide it down a little then test to see if text is as you want it. There is a spell-check. When you type ...any errors are underlined in red. This disappears when you Post Reply.

PEV Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Oh by the Way Ken spell check is definately not working - I checked using Office spell check and it picked up I had spelt camoflage incorrectly (should be camouflage) Ray Quote
KenB Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Hi Ray ..... I have just typed in camoflage and it picks it up as incorrect ( red underline ) I will check your settings to see if it can be enabled. [ It may be part of your browser - which one are you using ? ] I have made a couple of cash contributions to FreePC Help over the years We do appreciate your contributions Ray - thank you :) EDIT Just checked ......the board software uses your browser spell check You may need to enable it in your browser.

Woodworker Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 My sight isn't what it was and I find Windows Magnifier invaluable - In fact I keep it set to 125 percent most of the time. If you haven't tried it, I thoroughly recommend you to open it and have a play. Quote
