There are two methods for increasing your print size. If you have a mouse with a roller wheel that scrolls up and down the page, use this version. When you are on a page and need to change the print size, press down and hold the “Ctrl” button while you scroll the mouse down the page. Each time the wheel clicks, the text size will increase. Stop when the print is at the point where you can comfortably read. To return the print to normal size, just hold the “Ctrl” and move the mouse back up, print will downsize and stop when back to normal.

If you do not have a mouse with a roller, use this method. Open your web browser. Click on the “view” in the upper left hand corner. Now select the text size and then select larger or largest. To return back to normal, repeat but choose medium or small. For Netscape or Mozilla browsers, you will need to press the “Ctrl” key simultaneously with the + or – symbols to change text size.
