I did have to copy and paste it so I could increase the size of the font to actually be able to read it.you know about my eye troubles, so this is a topic near and dear to my heart. I use FireFox exactly for this reason. You can make the font size on a web page as large as you need. If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel just hold down the control key and you can "scroll" the font size directly.
Firefox is a free download and, so far, is not having as many security exploits as Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Thanks, Phsst. I have downloaded FireFox. From things I read here, it seems it has many very nice features that I have absolutely no ability to figure out. I have even read their "Getting Started" information and learned nothing. The internet can make me feel very dumb sometimes.
The thing that I hate most about it is, if I am following a thread and hit refresh, it takes me to the last post and I have to scroll back up to see what I missed.

Didn't know I could do that, Thanks!

Check out DeskBot at www.deskbot.com
It is a free program that uses the MS Agent text2speech to read the clipboard and certain other program pages to the listener. [I also use a tabbed browser that has incorporated that feature into it. Check www.fastbrowser.net]
I use it frequently on lengthy news articles with excessively small print.
Several voices are available, and it does a fairly decent vocal rendering. FYI
