Forum Squished smaller in reading size

**robin morley** · 05-26-2014, 01:28 PM

Hi Larry, Only found out myself through wondering why the text on my screen was much larger than normal. I will try and describe how to fix the problem in a way that the technologically challenged ( amongst whose number I count myself ) will hopefully follow. Not sure about procedure on a PC the advice below is for laptops.

If text is larger/smaller than required move the cursor/pointy thing on the screen onto the text and tap the box/pad which you put your finger on to move the cursor.

Then move your finger placing it firmly onto the left hand side (as you look at it) of the box (still staying within the box) and move your finger up and down. You should see a plus/minus sign show on the screen and the text should grow larger when you move it away from you and smaller when moved towards you.

Hope this helps

Robin

Hold down "Ctrl" button on your key board. While holding the "Ctrl" button down simply tap the "+" key to enlarge the text to the desired magnification. Tapping the "-" key will make the font smaller.

Robin I might have done that without realizing ..thankyou for that..and I would not know how to correct it..if that happened..but what i did do was clear all my cookies and history..then went into properties for a disk cleanup..as of now its back to normal.

But it would be a benefit for some Computer aged challenged people as myself..if you could explain the procedure..if this does happen again..a "How to" step by step..on correcting if it happens again. Please if you may

Regards Larry

I still keep the little twins

Do like I did and get yourself some new glasses grandpa.

LOL

Dean are you calling Dimas a Moth?.... I had a parakeet one time named "Mothra ".............anyway

... I was more focused on the twins summoning power.

@ Steve ..I was advised that U-Boat Binoculars would be best

I have done this twice in the last year, very annoying both times as it needed different remedies to sort it each time as it happened either side of an operating/browser system change. Hopefully I know how to sort it if it happens again, assuming I don't forget how to fix it.
