How to resize text ...

[Phoenix]

on tempermental computer :twisted:

How can I resize it? It's one size when I'm on it (normally) because I need it bigger, but it doesn't always return to the size I need it when my brother's shut it down! :evil:

It's normal size for my brother, but it should resize to be bigger for me but sometimes it doesn't! :evil:

Can't help with this; you might put this in the Forum Help section; sure Az or the moderators could have suggestions.....

Do you mean screens in general, RCR or just Catsey?

Any screens that happen to be up :evil: Tries using the accesibility options but they don't help :evil:

What browser do you use RCR?

[Phoenix]

Internet Explorer - don't know which one it is, one of the newer ones but lately it's been asking to upgrade again - no chance! :evil: not while it's playing up :evil:

You might consider switching to Firefox. If you don't like it you can always go back to IE. I had to use IE when I was having a computer problem recently, and had forgotten how much worse IMO it was than Firefox .....

In the meantime I'll try not to break the laptop (couldn't come on Catsey if I broke the laptop :oops: )

Where can I get the firefox?

Try this RCR: It looks like it will work :)

Go onto the internet search page you usually use. Go up & click on "View" Then go down to "Text Size" and pick the size of the text you would like to see on your internet browser. It worked for me & it seems really easy. Hope it works!

Nope, didn't work, just tried it! :evil:

Now the smilies have frozen up!!! :twisted:

I'm having to have it on full screen for it to be remotely bigger! :evil:

Darn! Computers are a pain sometimes :smt019 Well hope you can get the text to resize!

I've just ditched a rubbish Logitech keyboard but it did have a lovely make everything bigger button that worked a treat. Sorry, doesn't help you RCR.

Wow, thanks for that tip, HK! Didn't know that option was available on my Mac, but just checked and it is! I don't need to change text size, but it would have been really great last week when I'd been to the eye doctor and could hardly read the screen because my eyes were dilated. Will remember that for next year!

Sorry to hijack your thread RCR!

That's OK! The computer's suddenly decided to resize the whole screen! The computer locked, the screensaver came on then when I'd woken the computer again the text suddenly resized (hopefully it will stay resized!)

And Dylan's just walked over the keyboard again so if anything's come up with this post (any nonsense) it's because ylan's been walking on the keyboard (he wants to be like Mummy you see and type! :smt007 )
