If you press and hold your [CTRL] (control key) and then repetitively press the "+" key (plus sign) you will increase the size of the type font on your screen. You can blow it up really large if you want.

If you want to reduce the size of the print on your screen then press and hold the [CTRL] key and then press "-" (the minus sign.)

This way you can make the type as large or small as you like in convenient steps.

All caps looks like you are shouting all the time and is less desirable for lots of readers..

My sight isn't what it used to be so I tend to use larger type to make things easier to read on the screen. Increasing or decreasing the font size with the control key does not effect the way the text looks to everyone else, just the person adjusting it on his computer.

What are you gonna to do, BBQ a whole oxen?

Just curious?? If you a Zoom feature you may be able to use that. Or in the control center on visual display if you decrease the clarity it may increase font size and page size.


Now if I could only import a spell checker for this forum??

If you have a Windows OS, and depending upon which version, there is a "magnifier" option. In Windows 2000 and XP, go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Accessibility, Magnifier. It will magnify a portion of your screen. Give it a try. I don't think it was on the older OS versions (98, NT) but I'm not sure.
