Adjusting Text Size:


If you have trouble reading some of the fine print on the internet, you can almost always increase the size of the text on a page. This doesn't always work, but it works often enough to remember this trick. 

To enlarge the text on a web page, you can go to the top of Internet Explorer and click on the  VIEW menu and select whatever text size works best for you. But remember that it might make some web pages display incorrectly, so you might have to come back in and reset it to the medium setting. 

Another way to accomplish this same trick is to click on the TEXT button at the top of Internet Explorer (if it is there). 

If this button is not at the top of your browser, you can always change some settings to make it appear there. It is pretty simple, and I'll walk ya right through... wanna try it? 

OK, to make the text button appear on the menu bar (this is assuming that it isn't there already) you have to right-click on any of the buttons at the top of the browser and select CUSTOMIZE. 

 

Now you need to find the TEXT icon in the left hand window and select it by clicking on it once. Then, after it is selected, hit the ADD button and it will appear in the right window. You can even decide where you want it to appear on the menu bar by using the MOVE UP and MOVE DOWN buttons as seen in the image below. Once you are done, close the window and you're done. Pretty easy huh? 

 

Can you read the text now?  
Just kidding
