How to Expand a Page on a Computer

Expand a Web page to view more content.

The amount of content that you can view on some Web pages depends on the size of the page on your computer screen. For example, if you are viewing a Web page that contains a lot of data, you will need to scroll down or across the page to see all of its content. However, if you expand the page to fill your computer screen, you will be able to see more of the content without scrolling. In some cases, expanding the page will eliminate the need to scroll because you can see all of its content on the larger page. There are several options available to expand a Web page.

Instructions

1. Launch a Web browser, and go to the Web page that you want to view.

2. Click the "Maximize" button at the top right corner of the window. The button has a small square on it, and is to the left of the red "Close" button. After clicking the button, the page expands to fill the screen. Click the button again to restore the page size.

3. Double-click the Web page's title bar at the top of the window. The page automatically expands to cover the computer screen. Double-click the title bar again when you want to return the page to its former size.

4. Position the cursor over a corner or border of the Web page. The cursor automatically turns into a two-headed arrow. Click the corner or border and drag it to expand the page.

5. Press the "F11" key at the top of the keyboard to expand the page to full screen mode. The page takes up the entire screen. Press the "F11" key again to go back to the previous size. If nothing happens when you press the F11 key, press the "Fn" or "Function" key and the "F11" key simultaneously to activate full screen mode.
