If you use most any browser, try holding the Control key and touch the '0' key (zero).

Actually, you can hold down the Control key and use the mouse wheel to "scroll" the page size. If you want to return to "normal" use my hint. You can also use the "+" and "-" keys with the Control key to change site sizing.

That is too cool. I didn't even know that was possible. I can see!
Thanks, Tom.

I do it ALL the time, Dirk. Especially when I'm trying my best to read the teenie-tiny font in the review boxes. My trifocals just don't read blue on light blue very well. A very poor choice of font colors IMHO. So, I hold down the Control key and mouse-wheel away!

Cool I learned something new today too!
Tom - did you add anything in the wish list about the blue on light blue problem and what you feel would make it easier for people to read?
I increase the size of the font when I publish chapters to the site, but I'm never sure if I'm making the font big enough even though I use a size 16 font.
Hi, Karen!
Sol has a lot on his plate now, and I don't want to increase the load. I have a small script that I use to remove ALL color from a given page. Sometimes it makes things go a bit 'wonky', but it does turn the font into black on white. Then I mousewheel the page larger so I can read it. This forum, for example, is a tiny bit easier because the font is black on a pale yellow background. I do NOT see any highlighting, however, when I select text for alteration/removal. I think it is a darker shade of yellow, but I'm not sure. Should be deep blue which is what all selections are in most of the world of web design.
I use Times New Roman @ 14 on my computer and when I post, I just copy/paste into the web editing window. It appears to transfer just fine. If anyone (like me) needs a bigger font, just use the Control-mousewheel method to increase it.

Yes he does, and that's very thoughtful of you to not want to add to his workload. I'm glad you have a somewhat viable work-a-round, so you don't strain your eyes when reading and reviewing things on the site.
