Need A Help Reading The Computer?

[Bobj]

Why didn't someone tell me this a long time ago?

This is for everyone whose eyesight isn't what it used to be. I just found out about it, and thought I would pass the information on. It's very useful when trying to read small e-mail print (especially in the early hours).

If you hold down the Ctrl key on your key board and turn the small wheel in the middle of your mouse, the print size will change - it will either get larger or smaller - depending on which way you turn the wheel.

Pass this on to other friends who may find it very useful .... I'm glad I was told.

Mate!!! It is a great help.

Bobj - it surely is a help.

 

Another thing that is great if you are using IE (probably similar in Firefox but I don't use that one) is to go into tools->internet options, Accessibility button then tick the blocks as shown in the photo. It puts all the text into Times New Roman (much easier to read than the others) and allows the wheel-size changes even on sites that normally won't allow it.

for clear reading "Comic Sans" is one of the well recommended fonts

 

Black text on custard yellow background is ideal I've heard, but maybe not too easy to arrange

That is true, I know a lady who is almost blind and she say's that colour set up is perfect for her to read.

The bar on your page that has "Forum name", "topics" etc would be about it, I think.
