IE 7 ?

Ernie Miller

>I got a new computer for Christmas and it has IE7 on it I am used to the 6 I'm not much for this tab crap but enough of that I am getting older not acting it. but the eyes are not what they used to be. on IE 6 I could go into the prefferances and change the text to largest and every page I went to the text size would be larger. I can't seem to figure out how to do this in IE7 any one out there know how to do this?

>Hi Ernie,

Down in the lower right hand corner of my screen I have a little magnifying icon that will change the text size to whatever I want. I can click on the icon itself or the little "down" arrow and get a choice of text size. Every now and then, for some unknown reason, my text size slips to 75% and I have to return it to 100%.

>But I just right-click in a blank area & click on new window."

I'm much happier with extra windows than this tab stuff.

Does the whole page...

>...except for text that has been formatted with a style command that will not change the size. There are a few styles that allow resizing and some that don't. You can blame the webmaster for the ones that don't change.

Ellis, running for cover
