An Easy Way to Magnify Your Web Pages
Mouse

If your eyes aren't as powerful as they used to be, and the web pages are harder to read, there's a simple way to increase their side. This works well with XP and I think it should probably also work with Vista.

While holding down the control key tap the "+" key. Each time you press it the page will be magnified. You can make it as big as you like. If you want to reduce the size of the font, use the "-" key. The images will be magnified as well as the text.

An even simpler way to do it is to hold down the control key while rotating your mouse wheel. Rotating it away from you increases the size of the page, toward you reduces it.

This trick also works with my word processor. I use Open Office but it will probably work with Word and Word Perfect as well. (It doesn't work with the text editor I'm using now to prepare this web page.)
