I Can See!

Yes, I can see, but with my current eye sight, everything on here looks like fine print. I know I asked a while back about how to make the font larger on here, but it's not possible. Just now, for some reason - my trying to see the impossible, even what I'm typing, I remembered you can change the font size in Google settings, and did so. I'm now at 150% and I can see without having to put my nose on the screen to make certain I spelled something correctly, even if it does show up with a red line underneath when I do get it spelled wrong. It's amazing what an increase in font size will do for your eyes. I can see! Now if only everything in life was that easy to take care of. Have you changed your settings to make it easy to interact on here? Thanks for reading.

To increase the size of any page/site/etc....hold down the control key and use the wheel on your mouse. 150 percent that's huge.

Yes it is, but it's perfect for me. Does the page stay at that increase or do you have to change it every time the screen changes?

@just4him If you change it then it stays that way. Very easy.You are changing the size of you browser when you do it so whatever site you go to the print is larger.

Alfredo - hold down control key and use the wheel on your mouse. Turn the wheel slow and it will go up 10 percent each time.

@AbbyGreenhill I didn't know you could do that. Does it stay that way or do you need to change it each time you change the screen?

The size is okay here, but I change it any time I need to when I am reading on line.

That's great. If I were a lot younger without all the vision problems I have I would be able to handle the smaller print.

But you can enlarge the type on your personal computer and also on the browser.

It does make life a lot easier when the font is bigger. I changed mine awhile back and I am happy that I did.
