Not sure if Chickenbutt has seen this yet, so...sending it back to the top.

Saw chickenbutt earlier, so sending this up.

Hey thanks, Predsfan and MW! I had left for an appointment yesterday and missed it.

I appreciate the info. I did not know you could do that. d'oh!

I just tried to do that and it didn't do anything. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I use Marble Mouses and I don't have a 'thumb wheel' that I know of. There is just left click, right click, and the big ball that moves the cursor up and down and all around. Smiley Happy

Hi chicken...use the Ctrl and + to make the print bigger and Ctrl and - to make it smaller.

Oh, thanks! I should have paid better attention. Smiley Happy I tried that and it works to make the whole page bigger.

But my problem (and I don't blame the posters for this - it's a Q Board problem) is the teensy tiny font and inability to paragraph for people who use iPads and such.

I actually do a bigger page thing (only in a different way) with, especially, my web mail page because stoopid ATT now has these wretched flash banner ads along the right margin. So, if I make the page big enough they fall off. ha! Smiley Happy

Really...glad I don't have that problem. Hope it helped a bit?

I just wish QVC would fix this. I can pretty much read smaller print but the tiny size of the print from people who have iPads is just too much for my old eyes I guess. Smiley Happy Plus, the inability to create paragraph breaks makes my eyeballs bleed. hehe

If I had an iPad (in which I have no interest, so that probably won't happen) I would not use it to post here. It wouldn't be worth the hassle. I guess some have offered suggestions for ways they can create larger font and paragraphs but most don't wish to do that.

Thanks so much!

To make the text larger when using a tablet, even if you don't want to do anything to create paragraph breaks, try this and see if it works for you:

Begin your text with < p > (without the spaces before and after the letter "p").

You can always go into your Settings on the tablet and set it up as a one-character "shortcut" if you don't want to type the brackets and the letter "p" each time.
