Are You Visually Challenged? Making Your Browser Easier to Read

You can increase or decrease the reading fonts in your browser:

PCs

For PCs in Microsoft Internet Explorer use CTRL and the mouse scroll wheel

In Netscape use CTRL + to make type larger and CTRL - to make type smaller.

This works better with some websites than others. It probably depends on how well they are programmed.

Macs

When you are using the Safari browser you can increase the font size by using Command (the Apple key) and +.

For newer Macs using OsX you can also zoom in on the type in any program.

You can turn on the zoom capability by using Command (the Apple key), Option and 8 (all at the same time).

Once it is turned on, you can zoom in on anything in any program by using Command, Option, and = for Zoom In Command, Option and - to Zoom Out

Newsletter for Visually Challenged Readers

One newsletter, the Dear Webby Humor Letter, even has an extra version for visually challenged readers, and hopefully others will provide that service soon too. Dear Webby is a contributor to ThriftyFun and has been a good friend to us. His newsletter is family friendly. For more information go to: http://www.webby.com/humor/
