I thought age comes with far-sightedness, a.k.a. "my-arms-are-too-short" syndrome

Istvan,

I thought age comes with far-sightedness, a.k.a. "my-arms-are-too-short" syndrome

Maybe that's it. I've worn glasses to correct for nearsightedness since I was 5 or so. I tend to notice nearsightedness more than the other.

I never knew you could do that. Thanks. That will help on those posts where
people feel the need to type in size 2 font.

OK everyone.

We can stop writing in large font just to be kind to old short-sited Paul.

Let's get back to normal size like this.

  You make it sound like being a wise ass is a bad thing? Besides, I believe people should do what they're good at.

What about those of us who suffer from short term memory loss? I keep having to go back and read the original post just to know what the hell I'm commenting on...

Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

Thanks

Beer.

It won't fix the problem, but you won't care.

Hold down the Ctrl key and tap the + key to enlarge the contents of your browser window. You can do this multiple times if needed. To go back to a normal size, hold down the Ctrl key and tap 0.

If you want to "zoom out" on a page, the keystroke combination is Ctrl-minus.

And, on a Mac, that would be same key combinations, except substituting the Command key for the Control key.

Or we could all start typing really big.

Thanks

I work for a charity for the blind - so don't let me tell you about colour contrasting and clear print! Good tip on using the + key. Control and scroll button works too!

  Some of us have fancy keyboards with a built in zoom lever.... :p (Not that I ever use the thing, I can see close up just fine but easily drive into trees without glasses or contacts....I don't suppose there's a zoom function for that)

Or, if you're using Firefox, you can use the No-Squint Site Settings add on and set a default size to enlarge each page. I keep mine set on 120 when I'm on my mini and it works great!
