Make text on a website larger

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Make text on a website larger
Your tips help me learn too!

I'll tell you right up front: I don't know it all! Now that we have that clear, let me thank Beverly Willsea, one of my clients, for this tip.

Beverly called one day and asked how she could make the text on a website large enough to read. I had to tell her that I had no idea how to do that. Well, Beverly's a smart lady and she called me back a couple of hours later and gave me the answer.

If you use Internet Explorer to search the web, you will notice the menu bar and tool bar at the top of the screen. To change the size of text on a website LEFT click View on the Menu Bar, then LEFT click Text Size. You will see five options from Largest to Smallest. Click one of the choices and the text size on the website will immediately change.

If you have my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics, have you checked out all the things you can do on the Internet on pages 73-88? Page 88 has a list of interesting websites you might want to check out. If you don't have that book, click here to go to my website to order it. The information in that section alone is worth the price of the book ($25 includes shipping).

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
