I’m sure you’ve used larger fonts when you need to, especially to make your newsletters and brochures readable for your older friends. Hopefully, you also use View and Zoom in Microsoft Office programs if you can’t read a document or spreadsheet.
Recently, though, a friend wrote that she couldn’t read something on the internet. She has an easy solution using keyboard keys. She can zoom on any internet page by holding down the CTRL key and the + key at the same time. If she does the CTRL and – keys, the screen will zoom back down again. If watching a video, she should zoom first before playing the video.

Thanks! I really appreciate learning this tip about enlarging scripts that come in too small. I have received messages from one person in particular and part of the message would be normal size but much of it would come so small I could not read it without copying to Word and changing size. Finally I can correct the problem easily and quickly!
