IE Viewing Space

I am having a difficult time setting up IE to the way it was on my last
laptop. I've increased the font size, but it only works for some things or
it totally messes up the formating on the page. Is there a way to adjust
zoom in Internet Explorer the way you can in Word? On certain sites, I'm
going blind.

Also, some sites such as nytimes.com. The site only takes up 2/3 of the
screen. The rest is just wasted, blank space.

Can someone advise me on how to adjust settings?

Thanks.
 
There are mouse shortcuts to quickly adjust text size... Ctrl+MouseScroll

I am afraid that some sites hardwire the text size of their pages so this
will not work for you all the time.

To magnify the document try either of these 2 free toolbars

(a full featured toolbar for accessibility... recommended)
or

(Untested by me... This one may not be free.... think it is endorsed by the
US Govt.)
 
Check your settings

start>settings>control panel>display the settings tab

Most new machines can handle 800x600, 1024 x 768 and even higher like
1280x960

Likely your new machine is set at 1024x768 to give better picture quality
but you can change this back to 800x600 and it will probably match the old
machine.

Web pages are often fixed at 800x600 and no matter what you do you will mess
something up trying to fill the screen with them.
