Help! I can't read FR on my laptop!

Posted on 08/02/2010 11:34:28 AM PDT by Bluestateredman

Help! When I visit FR on my laptop, the print is so tiny that I can't read it. Adjusting the screen resolution doesn't help. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Someplace there’s a little icon where you can change the screen print size. Mine is in the lower right hand corner.

Hold down the “CTRL” key and then roll the scroll wheel on your mouse up and down until you get to a size that you can read.

If I click on “page” up by tools, I can then click to change the text size.

If you can read this, you've fixed your problem < /sarc >

You may have accidentally held down some control character than changes font size.

In Internet Explorer, you can click on View (top dropdown menus), Text Size -> “Medium” or “Larger”, should correct the problem. Close your browser after making this setting.

Launch a new browser and font size should be set.

I’m using IE and have a text size option on my “page” tab.

Depends on your browser. If you are using Fire Fox go to view and then to zoom and click in, do this until the size of print you want is displayed. I don’t know how it works with Explorer but I am sure they have a similar feature.

You know, that Lay's Baked Potato dip doesn't really taste like baked potatoes at all.

Or, ctrl + or ctrl and your mouse wheel will get you there also.

On the bottom right of your screen, there should be a “100%” with a select arrow (Yours might say 50 or 75%). Click on the arrow..change the size to 100 or 125.
