I DID go to sleep last night. Thank ou for telling me how to accomplish this' At first I made it so big it was off the page on either side. If you use Ctrl and plus or minus you don't have to fool with "view" do you? Not sur if this will last - will I have to do it every time I post something? Just had lunch with Alffe - yummers. Mediterranien (sp) food! Thanks again. Barb

LOL I just learned something new from Lara! But what I've always done is just hold down the Ctrl key on the bottom left of the keyboard, and use the scroll button on my mouse to increase or decrease.

And I don't have any problem seeing my monitor with my progressives. I do desperately need a new pair though so I'm glad I have my annual eye appt later this month!
I'm on a PC. When I make the script larger as Lara showed me, then everything is off the page. Boy am I a newbie!

The default box is at the bottom of this page also.
scroll down to the bottom, it's on the left side.

It will work for as long as you have the browser window open.
You'll just need to do it again next time you log on.

If you Press Ctrl and the + key method, then only press the + key once. If you leave your finger on that it will just magnify it further.

I found my eyes got really tired though and even though I had glasses to use at night to give my eyes a rest, I found it was just getting to be a bit of a pain.

I'd love to go back to the contacts again though.

I have vertigo a lot and find my bifocals tend to interfere with my field of vision when I'm walking around. I have trouble judging distance and also trouble judging changes in levels. My head is bobbing up and down all over the place.

What I would do is maybe adjust your monitor so that you've not got your head at an unusual angle trying to read. Even try moving it closer or further away. See if anything helps. Do remember though, Barb, that you can change the Text size up in View. This browser I'm using right now has ZOOM + or -. My old one I thought just had something like adjust Text Size + or -.

.
Lara, I just want to thank you for all the help you gave me today!
