On a PC (Mac probably has a similar function), I can increase the font size of most anything I'm looking online by pressing the "Ctrl" (control) key and the "+" (plus) key. Possibly this is common knowledge (I checked but didn't see it posted anywhere here) but it sure has been a great discovery for me!

I love that it helps me to bump up my concentration a notch, especially during those times when meds haven't kicked in, or when it's late in the day and everything's wearing off. Lengthy passages with few or no paragraph breaks? Bring it on! (I used to copy/paste them into a word doc and insert my own paragraph breaks - also helpful but took forever!)

Of course (probably obvious to everyone), pressing "ctrl" and the "-" (minus, or dash) key makes the font smaller.

Try it - you'll see ADD FORUMS in a whole new perspective!!! =)

Tried it.

Doesn't do anything on my PC.

Really?? Oh no! This featuer even works on the computers I use at work - and I'm in a school with VERY limited access to tweaks and tricks! Maybe someone with more computer knowledge can explain more... sorry it didn't work for you =(

It works on any of the Macs I use.

I use "ctrl" and the scroll wheel to change text size.

I use Opera web browser mainly because it can scale whole webpages(texts and images). Just select "View" then "Zoom" and pick a zoom size on the list.

Just tried it works with Opera. :)

Ah, now that did something. It changed the size of the font of the quote in your siggie line. Nothing else.

works on explorer and on firefox for me

There might be a setting you have to change. Ctrl + scroll works for me in Opera but not IE.

Oh, that is too cool - I had no idea!

(Crtl + scroll with Firefox)

Also if you look at the bottom right corner of your window you will see a 100% and an arrow to the right simply click on that to do the same

I think some of the magnify features are in IE 7

THAT is WAY COOL! I can't wait to show some non-add folks about this one! And I can't believe I never even noticed it. Right there all the time, too!!!

Nothing like that here.


edited to add... maybe that's a feature of a later edition than mine.

Another option for making text size bigger is to open up the control panel and go into ‘Internet Options’. At the bottom right you will find ’Accessibility’, click on this and tick the box saying ‘Ignore font sizes specified on webpages’.

Sorry meant to say that's IE7
