Easy On Your Eyes - Web Viewing Tip
Websites often utilize small fonts to maximize "layout" and space usage. The small font format can run at cross purposes with customers and clients who would prefer larger print. If you find this frustrating, there is a solution.
Do you know that most of the newer (updated) browsers allow you to adjust font size on websites to suit your preferences?
For example, in Mozilla and Explorer (steps may vary depending upon your browser and/or version) just go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and click on "View"; from the dropdown select increase or decrease as you wish.

in IE 7, if you look down at the lower right corner, you will see a magnifying glass that will let you magnify a web page from 125% up to 400%.
Love it
Thanks Karol!!
If you have a mouse with a scroll bar, hold down the CTRL key and rollthe scroll bar back and forward. It will toggle between about 5 different sizes of fonts. This works in many WINDOWS programs.
Great info! Thanks for sharing. :-)

Tracy, another solution for those who have the numbers keypad: hit "ctrl" and the "plus key" + on the numbers keypad. That will increase the text size on that current screen.
For those Mac users, just use your View pull-down menu to locate where to increase font size.
