Change Web Page Font Size on the Fly

Expand Post »

I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Change Web Page Font Size on the Fly

If your mouse contains a wheel for scrolling, you can change font size on the fly when viewing a Web page.

Press and hold Ctrl.
Scroll down (or towards yourself) to enlarge the font size.
Scroll up (or away from yourself) to reduce the font size.

You might find it useful to reduce font size when printing a Web page, so that you can fit more content on the page.

Re: Change Web Page Font Size on the Fly

Dani,
Thank You so much for that tip. My 3 year old was pushing keys as I was surfing the net and everything went to small fonts. Which made this extremely difficult when viewing my WebPay page. I now know how my little angel did it (while I was scrolling down on something). Oh thank You so much. Laura Z
