Message space and letters too small?

Post by Roger Shackelton »

The window where we print our messages is too small and the letters are also too small.?? One poster with bad eyesight was posting in capitol letters, because he wasn't able to see his message clearly.??

I am running Microsoft Internet Explorer at home. At my job the computers are running Netscape, and the message area and the letters are larger.??

Any Ideas?

Roger

Roger,

Have you tried clicking on "View" at the top menu bar, then "Text Size" and selecting larger text?

My text size is already on the "Largest" size.

I believe that Netscape has an enlarging process that enlarges everything and not just the text size.

Roger, If Your Mouse Has A Wheel, Hold Down The "CTRL" Key While You Turn The Wheel. Your Text Should Adjust From Small To Large.

This doesn't work for me. I think I will try "NETSCAPE" for my Homepage.

Internet Explorer gives you a choice of only 5 text sizes.
Netscape Navigator lets you choose almost any size. You can shrink the characters with Control-[ down to only one pixel high or maybe less. (Good luck reading that!) Or you can blow them up with Control-] until a character is as tall as the screen.
