How to Make Words Bigger While Browsing

If you are tired of squinting while surfing the internet, you can make the words bigger. Whether you are using the Internet Explorer or Firefox, it's really easy to increase the text size.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. If you are using Mozilla Firefox, go to the View menu, select Zoom, and then select Zoom In. Zooming in will increase the size of everything on the page, including pictures. If you only want to make the text bigger, check the Zoom Text Only option under zoom menu first.

2. If you are using Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size, and then select whatever size font you would prefer.

3. Whether you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox, you can also use a shortcut (Ctrl++) to make the words bigger. Hold the Ctrl button and then press + twice. To reduce the text size use Ctrl-- or go back to the View menu.
