2. At the top of the page you should have the word 'view'.
Or something similar...click on it, drop down the menu and go to 'zoom'. Keep clicking from 100 on up until you get the size you like.

3. What browser are you using?
When a lot of them, Ctrl-mousewheel increases (or decreases) font sizes in whatever window you're viewing.

4. If you are on a windows computer ....
press and hold the ctrl key while scrolling the mouse wheel. Or alternately hold the ctrl key down and hit the plus key or minus key to make it smaller.

6. Depends upon your browser
In FireFox just hit the key combination "Control Key" + "Numeric Keypad '+' Key"

Do not know about Internet Explorer, but am sure that someone here will be able to help.

8. They way I do it works in Opera, the browser I use, and it works...
for all webpages. Something similar might work in other browsers, and there might be a default font size you can tell the browser to use.

Just pressing the "+" or "-" keys over on the number pad on the right increases or reduces the scale of the page. There's also a little box on the bottom where I can choose a scale-- either way, I can go from 20% to 1,000% of "normal."

9. Foxfire and Microsoft will work if you have a scroll mouse
just hit cntrl and scroll up and down to increase and decrease the font size.

It's what saved me before and right after my first corneal transplant.
