First for Windows users, especially those using the remarkably good Firefox browser:
You may enlarge or shrink any page view
PS: also works nowadays with IE
by pressing and holding down
Ctrl and then pressing the + key for a magnified view.
To shrink the view again: Ctrl and the minus/hyphen key -
NB: Firefox is freeware, infinitely sleeker, safer and better to use than virus-magnet IE.
You will only have to install "plug ins" to give it full functionality for 98% of all web pages.
IE is much discredited. A Google search of "IE vs Firefox" soon tells why IE is poor.
Mac's new Safari for Windows is an up and coming browser, also freeware.
There are other browsers than these three.
