Tip of the Week: Enlarging your text size when it's too small to read

Do you sometimes encounter a program or web site which uses very small fonts that are hard to read? There are a number of things you can do to fix this problem. For web sites, go to Internet Explorer's "View" menu, click on "Text Size", and choose a size that is larger than the current size. Note that this will not work on all web sites, because web authors do have the ability to lock the font size that is shown on their web pages.

Many programs provide a zoom or magnification setting to allow you to adjust the size of the text that is displayed in the current document. Look for this setting somewhere under the "View" menu, or on one of the toolbars that appears just below the menus.

The Windows Display control panel provides some other options as well. To access this control panel, right click on an unused area of your desktop and choose "Properties", or look for it in the Control Panels area under the Start menu. Once you've opened the Display control panel, click on the "Appearance" tab and increase the font size to large or extra large.

If these tricks are not sufficient, you can also try reducing your screen resolution. This will reduce your overall desktop area, giving you less room to work and allowing less to fit on the screen, but may be better than suffering from eye strain. From the Display control panel, click on the "Settings" tab and move the slider under "Screen Resolution" to the left. We don't recommend setting the resolution lower than 800x600, because many web sites are not designed to accommodate resolutions lower than this. You may need to play around to find the right balance of screen resolution and readability.
