ok for those of you who already knew this, you should have told the rest of us! a friend was over last night and told me someone sent her this info in an email and then she showed me. if the place your mouse cursor in the center of the page, hold down the right control button and move the wheel on your mouse the font on your computer gets larger and easier to read! really nice for those of us getting older and needing reading glasses.

It depends on how you have your mouse set up. It doesn't work with all two-button wheeled mice, and it's not really the default for the mouse.
But I'm glad it works for you!

Yeah, doesn't work for me at all and I have a 4 button mouse. I need to get another 5 button Micro$oft Intelimouse but those suckers wear out so fast it's amazing.

The left Ctrl also works on mine. The mouse buttons didn't do anything.

Tried a few times & does not work for me. But my computer is getting old ( don't think it will be around for much longer). I think it is past 5 years old. Which in computer years makes it about 50 years old.

Debs - if you want to see big, you also go to "View" on the menu at the top of IE. Then click on Text Size - it defaults to medium. You can make it larger or smaller there as well.
