• In Macintosh Internet Explorer and Netscape 6 and 7, use the View > Text Zoom menu.
• In Opera, use the Zoom selector.
• In Firefox and other Mozilla browsers, use the View > Increase Text Size option.
• In Safari, use the View > Make Text Bigger option.
• If you use a wheel-mouse, you may be able to change the text size by holding down the Control or Command key and turning the wheel. In some browsers you can change the text size using Control or Command and the + and – keys.
