I NEED ADVICE ON HOW TO ENLARGE THE TEXT SIZE AS I HAVE DIFFICULTY READING THE SMALL PRINT. MY DIL DID IT FOR ME A WHILE AGO BUT, HAD TO GO ALL AROUND THE HOUSES TO GET IN TO IT, AS WE COULD NOT FIND THE TOOLS ON THE TOOL BAR. IS THERE SOMEONE WHO COULD EXPLAIN TO ME JUST HOW TO GET THIS SORTED IN THE SHORTEST/EASIEST POSSIBLE WAY? I HAVE HAD TO PRINT THIS IN CAPITALS SO THAT I CAN READ IT EASILY ENOUGH MYSELF. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP AT SOONEST CONVENIENCE PLEASE. IT NOW NEEDS DOING AGAIN AS I DEFRAGGED EARLIER AND DISC CLEANED AND FOR SOME REASON IT HAS REDUCED THE SIZE OF THE TEXT. LIN

If you go to the top of the page you will find view between edit and favourites. Just open it and click on text size. I always use larger but there is also largest.

You can also press the control key, and at the same time scroll up and down with the scroll wheel on your mouse to change the text size.

What web browser are you using? If not sure, click Help there should be a part of the menu which says about. Click that. What does it say??

Jools, I'm using AOL 9.0 It would appear to be set out very differntly from some others? Thankfully with everyones help it's now sorted......it will get easier, the more I have to do it.........for some reason the defragging caused the print to revert to small text again?? Thanks for your interest though. Lin
