Make Text Easier to Read

SUMMARY: Make Netscape 8 display webpages using larger text.

Do you find webpage text too hard to read? If so, you can change the size of text displayed on webpages with Netscape 8.

(Note this does not work on every webpage but a high percentage of them. Some websites force text to display in a certain size no matter what.)

* To increase the text size, choose "View" - "Text Size" - "Increase". Or, press CTRL and = (or CTRL and + on the numeric keypad).

* To decrease the text size, choose "View" - "Text Size" - "Decrease". Or, press CTRL and -.

* To return the text size to the default, choose "View" - "Text Size" - "Normal". Or, press CTRL and 0.
