Guest Joan Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Can someone please tell me if there is a way to increase font size for reading web pages besides the options in 'View - Text size' and using the Windows Magnifier? I have poor vision but can read text if larger than the largest in the View - text size. Most web pages are too small even with the 'largest setting'. The magnifier is sort of difficult for me to use, it tends to wander. Is there any software or way to increase text size that I am not aware of? Thanks, Joan

On the whole, use a lower screen resolution. This will make *everything* bigger, and cause you to need to scroll more. In many apps, you can adjust the text size by pressing and holding the control key while rolling the mouse wheel (assuming your mouse has one). HTH -pk
Guest Paul Randall Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: Help with font size I have Firefox installed for just this purpose. Any time I am at a web site with IE and the font is unreadably small, I just start Firefox and paste in the URL, and then hit control-Plus or control-minus to increase or decrease the font size. It gives me a much larger range of font sizes than IE. The fonts typically become bold as the size increases, which also helps. -Paul Randall "Joan" <josie63@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:ue%23$SCj%23HHA.1484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Can someone please tell me if there is a way to increase font size for > reading web pages besides the options in 'View - Text size' and using the > Windows Magnifier?
