Text size too small and difficult to read

Posted: 09-16-2003, 08:17 PM
When reading in the Internet, i.e. CNN webpage, only 75%
of the screen is used and the text of the webpage is very
small, therefore it's very difficult to read the
articles.
The same problem with emails. We are using Outlook
Express. The folders are difficult to read as the text is
again very small, only the text of the messages
themselves can be changed to a larger size.

What can we do?

The best way to do this, I think, would to be to change your text size for
your whole system.

-Go into "Display Properties" (either through the Control Panel, or right
click on the desktop and choose "Properties"
-Go to the "Appearance" tab
-Under "Font size", change to large or extra large.

For internet browsing thorugh Internet Explorer, you can change the text
size there, too.

-Go to the "View" menu and choose "Text size"
-Choose a text size from those listed.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.
