A Computer Question...

[Bob Denman]

How can I change the size of the displayed "stuff" that is supposed to be on the screen? :shocked:
Through some of my usual keyboarding clumsiness; I've managed to increase the size of everything until I feel as if I'm using high powered binoculars indoors...
It's a Windows XP system running IE8...
Thanks! :thumbup:

Bob- if you have a scroll mouse, it's simple. Hold down a Ctrl key, then use the scroll wheel to increase or decrease the 'zoom'. It happens to me all the time.

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: No scroll rodent; all I've got is a place to scratch a finger around in that's the size of a Saltine cracker, and a couple of buttons underneath it to mimic the standard old-style interface... pps:

Got this from MicroTough....

From the keyboard you can increase or decrease the zoom value in 10% increments. To zoom in, press CTRL+PLUS SIGN (+). To zoom out, press CTRL+MINUS SIGN (-). To restore the zoom to 100%, press CTRL+0.

Try that....

This works for me. Did not know I could do that. :thumbup:

Bottom right of internet explorer has zoom setting on some versions.

Wow, I just learned something.

I would have said....

Go to the Control Panel....then to Appearance and Personalization....then Display....and change the size. :thumbup:

That too, but knowing Bob, my guess was that it was likely he's using Netscape or Cello or Opera, or something like that .

[Bob Denman]

Thanks Guy! That dang "ctrl" button was the one that was biting me on the bottom! :thumbup:
