most of you may know this but imma post it up anyways for the people that dont know.

I found this out a long time ago...

you can increase/decrease the font size in IE or AOL browser by holding down CTRL and using a scroll mouse, scrolling up or down.

note: this only works if you have a scroll mouse.

you know, I never knew that. Thanks that's great!

indeed, i didn'tk now that either...very interesting!

a valid point there ghetto, makes pages bigger and smaller. does this only work with IE or is it common to windows? does it jsut work on the internet?

thankx for the tip, i'll use it i'm sure in the future, somewhere!!

Hi ghettocars,

Interesting...I never knew that either. It's just too bad I don't have a scroll mouse on this computer. But I'll try it with my other mouse someday. Thanks!

hmm didnt know people didnt know this.

well to awnser davetodds question, I really dont know if this only works on IE because I have only tested it in IE, you can try it on other browsers though and tell us what happened.

and yes I think this works on Windows as well, try it out though.

Cool, I learn something new everyday!

Thanks Ghetto

Neat, sounds like it would be a fun thing to play with for a time. I don't have a scroll mouse though. Did once but it annoyed the heck out of me so I got rid of it.

I find I use the scroll wheel a lot, and will go for it when using an unfamiliar computer... Personally, I find it difficult to understand why anyone wouldn't want to use a scroll mouse after using one. Perhaps your wheel was set up incorrectly for the way you would use it Drachwyn... I have mine set up so that one notch scrolls about 3 or 4 lines worth, making it comfortable to read text without loosing your place while scrolling.

working fine on opera

hey tiggy, long time no see.

scroll mouse is the best in my opinion, I use it a lot, its better than going to the bar and scrolling manually.

I didn't like the scroll mouse when I first got one.....the ol' thing about "change". But after a very short while, I really began to like it. Now when I go to a computer that doesn't have one, I keep mumbling around trying to scroll without it.

I knew about changing the sizes using CTRL and the scroll mouse, but have you ever tried to get it back the way it was using the same method? I find that rather difficult to do sometimes. Not impossible, just difficult. Maybe my sensitivity is set to high.
