Have you noticed that there are more and more web sites with a font size adjustment (A A A) at the corner of the screen? As the words become progressively fuzzier, I appreciate these efforts of help.
I’ve learned, however, that there is a more powerful tool readily available. If you find it difficult to read articles on your computer screen, it is easy to change the size of the text that is displayed by your browser.
In the control bar at the very top of the screen -
- Click on the “View” button, then
- Click on the “Text Size” option.
The Text Size option will display choices for “Larger” or “Smaller” or for “Increase” or “Decrease”. Click to make it bigger and see how you like the results. Try it now and see how this screen changes. I find that these choices offer a broader range of change available than the “A A A” option usually provides.
Depending upon the software version on your computer, the choice you make will either be temporary, lasting only during this session, or fixed until you choose to change it again.
