Font Size

[bestofour]

is there a way to change the font size on my posts?  I've tried the A with the up/down arrow and it doesn't work.

Sheri, the font size has to be changed within the tags. You have to change the 10pts to something else...

[size =10pt] = starting point

[size =14pt] = larger size

[size =8pt] = smaller size

If it is just for the ease of reading, I can change the font size on each forum I go on by hitting Ctrl and using the scroll button in the middle of my mouse to adjust for reading.

say that again Tina.

When I click control and the middle thing I get an up and down error that moves the page up or down.  It's really pretty cool but it doesn't change the font size.

Never mind.  It just worked Tina.  I wasn't holding the ctrl button while I scrolled.  But try the other thing.  It's cool.

There is a button on most computers that you need to be careful of. It says Ctrl on mine and is on both sides , bottom of my keyboard. My mouse has two buttons, a right and left. In between those buttons is a little roller  to scroll a page up or down. If I push Ctrl and use that scroller at the same time the font on all pages gets larger or smaller depending to the direction scrolled. Sometimes it helps me to read the fine print without putting on my glasses.

I have done the thing Dianna's way too.

Ctrl and the plus or minus key on the number pad to the right of the keyboard will also enlarge or reduce the size of the words on the web page.

Great information, my old eyes thank you.
