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.

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.

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.

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.
