Increase Text Size?
 
Hi, I ran FT searches for the terms Font Size, and Text Size. The results where inconclusive so I'll ask here.

Is it possible to increase the font size on FT? I checked all the user settings, and increasing the Internet Explorer text size has no effect on FT text.

Bascially, I don't want to strain my eyes when reading the forms posts on here - and there are a ton of posts to read.

On Firefox, I can hit Ctrl+ to make the font larger, Ctrl- to make it smaller, and Ctrl0 to restore it to "normal."

Hey! Those keystrokes also work in IE. Thanks for the help, problem solved. Eyestrain...reducing...must...protect..eyes...! :cool:

Odd that the View > Text Size menu in IE works for many web sites, but not all including this one. I have it set to Largest, @ all times.

My world now looks like this.

That's cool! Any suggestions for Outlook email? (my work monitor is crap)

You can increase font size within Outlook too. Do you have the lastest 2007 out look or older? Either way, you have to right click in the various panes or headers in the different sections of your inbox view, and in the menu there are font settings. I have done it myself.
These settings do not affect outgoing mail fonts, just your own view.

Thank you, thank you! I'm holding out for a brand new flat-screen monitor but have to wait until all the old, but not completely terrible, monitors are redistributed. I have a perfectly fine Dell at home that I'm not using, but they won't let me bring it in. Go figure.
