Hi everybody. There are two ways you increase the size of the print you see
on your own computer. Try the easy one first -- it will increase the size
of all type in the emails you receive, and also the print on most website
you visit.
Just open your browser, Internet Explorer. In the toolbar at the top,
select VIEW. Then TEXT SIZE. Click on Largest.
If this is still not big enough for you to read easily, let me know. There
is a way to increase the size of everything dramatically by using special
settings so that people with various disabilities can still use the
computer. I'll find out how you can do this if the above-mentioned setting
change isn't enough.
take care, Michelle

SOME TIME WAY BACK I SENT TO THE LIST AN EASY MEANS OF ENLARGING THE FONT
OF E-MAIL WITH JUST A CLICK/ROLL OF YOUR MOUSE.
IT WAS SOME COMBINATION OF THE CONTROL BUTTON AND ANOTHER, BUT I FORGET.
MAYBE SOMEONE WILL REMEMBER AND SEND IT OUT TO THE MEMBER, AGAIN, AND YOU
CAN THEN USE IT.
IT WAS QUICK AND SIMPLE

Subject: [TMIC] fine print and old eyes
When 11 point type is viewed on a big screen at maximum resolution,
it appears as very fine print. Namely, on my screen at this moment
is a note by an long-time TM'er; the 11 point body of his note
appears with the text, "was", only .07 inches tall. My old eyes
cannot read that without glasses plus leaning forward to get near the
screen.
There are two solutions: larger type or a lower resolution screen.
Changing the screen resolution is in conflict with my style of
computer usage. Changing the type size for each message received is
not worthwhile for mailing list messages.
I am sure that I am not alone with this problem.
So I would like to ask contributers to compose their messages with 14
point type or larger. This message, and others I create, is 14 point.
Alton
