Changing Windows XP/Vista font size

[Dale]

Hi:
My parents have Windows XP Home edition.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium edition.
According to some information I have found in books and on-line,
a person can change the size of the fonts on web pages that they
are viewing, if they have a mouse with a built-in scroll-wheel.

Can this be done if you do not have a mouse with the scroll-wheel ?
i.e., you just have a regular 2-button mouse.
If so, please provide the details.
Thank you.
