    Girls :D

    This forum was the least embarassing place to post this question!!!

    My 14 month old (a pc nerd already) slapped the keyboard of my laptop and now the print for boards is so small its driving me nuts but I can't find where to change the font/appearance. All I want is bigger writing not to change my colour scheme.

    Anybody tell me how to do that?? :)



    Thanks in advance.

    What browser do you use, Internet Explorer, Mac Safari, Firefox?

    Hold the Ctrl key down and use the scroll button on your mouse to make the font bigger and smaller.

    I would close this but I'm off to work shortly so I'll leave it open so the ladies can show you the error of your ways in assuming they're non-technical. Best of luck!

    As Zaph says you can do CTRL and scroll, or in Firefox you can go to View - Zoom - Zoom Out. In Internet Explorer go to View - Text Size - Larger.

    Tell your 14-month old to think about what he/she has done. Then get him/her to put it right.

    Withhold food, the internet and TV until all is back to normal. And stop putting gin in his/her bottle. :D

    Didn't post assuming the ladies were non-technical, just reckoned this was the place I would get the least slagging :p

    Thanks to all of you for your replies, I now have font suitable for reading from a distance :D

    Well seeing as you've got sorted and the ladies have obviously decided to avoid this thread I think we're done here.
