How is your eyesight ?

If you use the Netscape browser then you can hold down CONTROL and tap "+" (the plus sign) with each time making the words bigger and bigger. There are also a few very good programs that offer "one click" enlarging. Do a search for "Dragnifier", it's free. I use it all the time.

 

I am quite fascinated by your find Gwyneth.

 

Also pressing F11 will toggle you full screen and regular screen.

Now you got pressing all my keys in different combinations.

 

My keyboard has too many options. F11 saves the webpage.

 

Shhh...not so loud...if my wife finds out about this it will blow my whole line of reasoning to justify getting a bigger monitor...

 

A bigger monitor doesn't translate to bigger type -- you can just fit more tiny things onto your screen.

 

I'm like Diane, F11 saves the web page on mine!

 

I got it! ha!ha! I have also problem with my eyes. Thanks to contact lens.. But these keys help me a lot! Thank you!

 

That's awesome. Many years using a computer, never knew that. Wow!

 

I am very nearsighted. My prescription glasses is
-9 diopters for both lenses.

You can call me "Miss Magoo".

I think you are talking about the "age-related" condition that people over 40 gets which is common. Called...**looking up the name on the web**.....oh, here it is.....it's called "presbyopia".

I already knew about the Alt-middle mouse contrl to make text bigger and smaller....but I agree, that was a very handy thing to have! I wish it would work on Microsoft Access with "forms" to fill out addresses in (they are white blocks), but it doesn't.

Oh, this is GREAT!
Any more neat tips?

 

I have been putting together a cook book and just found out that by pressing Alt and hitting 167 on your number pad it will make the little degree symbal ( 350º). Many of you may already know that but I'm still learning.

This is fun; limitless opportunities!!! Just keep trying different combinations!

 

KEWL!!! Does anybody know of anyplace that lists these "alt" and number combinations?

Thanks. I use a Mac, and the Netscape trick works with "Command - +".
