Help with font size

[Joan]

Can someone please tell me if there is a way to increase font size for
reading web pages besides the options in 'View - Text size' and using the
Windows Magnifier? I have poor vision but can read text if larger than the
largest in the View - text size. Most web pages are too small even with the
'largest setting'. The magnifier is sort of difficult for me to use, it
tends to wander. Is there any software or way to increase text size that I
am not aware of?

Thanks, Joan

Options are kind of limited. On the whole, use a lower screen resolution.
This will make *everything* bigger, and cause you to need to scroll more.

In many apps, you can adjust the text size by pressing and holding the
control key while rolling the mouse wheel (assuming your mouse has one).

I have Firefox installed for just this purpose. Any time I am at a web site
with IE and the font is unreadably small, I just start Firefox and paste in
the URL, and then hit control-Plus or control-minus to increase or decrease
the font size. It gives me a much larger range of font sizes than IE. The
fonts typically become bold as the size increases, which also helps.
