Easily Increase or Decrease Font Size – Cool Tip!
Have you ever been reading something on your computer and thought, “wow, that font size is so small it’s making my eyes hurt”? There’s a really easy way to increase or decrease the font size. Simply press the Ctrl key on your keyboard and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to increase or decrease the size.
If you don’t have a scroll wheel on your mouse you can press Ctrl and use the + and – keys on your keyboard. Pressing Ctrl 0 (zero) will set it back to the original size.
I’ve found this works in both Windows XP and Vista in nearly any application. It’ll even increase or decrease the size of your desktop icons. Give it a try!
