You mentioned having trouble reading the small font...

A tip...Hold down the Ctrl key while moving the mouse thumb wheel up. You will enlarge the font. It works the same by moving the thumb wheel down to shrink it.

Hi Mama...or holding down the Ctrl key and the + sign. If you want it smaller that would be Ctrl and the - sign.

this does not work on a Mac. You have to use two fingers on the mousepad and stretch the screen. If that makes sense, lol.

Cool Croemer...I didn't know that trick. I was wondering what a person with a laptop and no mouse would do, and know I know. Thanks for the addition.

My youngest told me how to do the + and - but I never remember when I need to use it.

On an iMac:

Hold down the Apple/Command key. Then depress the "plus sign" as many times as you want -- each time you'll zoom in more. To zoom back out, hold down the Apple/Command key and hit the "minus sign" (hyphen). (The Apple/Command and 0 (zero) combo one time should take the screen to its default size.)
