Magnifying a page
If it's difficult to read the small text on a Web page, you can zoom in for a closer look. There are actually two ways to do this. You can enlarge only the text and keep pictures at their current size. Or you can zoom in on pictures and text.
- To change the text size only, click the Page button, click Text Size, and then click a text size.
- To change the size of text and pictures, click the Page button, click Zoom, and choose a magnification.
Tip For quick zooming from the keyboard, hold down the Ctrl key and tap the + key repeatedly to zoom in. Hold down the Ctrl key and press the - (hyphen) key to zoom out. If your mouse has a scroll wheel, hold down the Ctrl button and scroll up or down to resize the page. Or, use the Zoom button at the bottom right of the window.
