Increase size of text in programs and IE

Maybe I should stick to one question but it's part of the same problem

As an example; when I use Favorites Management Master 2.02 I would
like the "variable" text to be much bigger; ...getting old :-((

Is there a way to do that?

I am on a 1024x768 resolution, went to 800x600 but it was horrible
surfing the internet with IE

Now I am back to 1024x768; I've used Display Properties/Appearance
but don't find anything there to influence the "window text" in FMM
2.02. or other program for that matter.

....then nothing I can do with "text size" in a web page;
There is a nice feature in Avant-Browser (ZOOM) that "does the job"
just zoom at 125% and the size of the text is perfect. But it's
programmed to revert back to 100%;

Anything similar I can do with XP and/or IE6 or maybe some utility.

BTW; I'm with XP HE; a 17" Screen and my DPI is 96

Den,

In IE6:
View
Text Size
Larger

http://www.maxthon.com/en/download.htm (was MyIE2) also has:
View
Zoom Page


XP has Magnifier in Accessibility. Press [Winkey]+
 
If I remember correctly:
Tools>Options>General>Accessability>Ignore font sizes specified on Web
Pages.

Also, have you tried increasing the DPI to 120?
Display>Options>General >Advanced.

When I hit those keys nothing appends; just nothing !!!
I also taught that it was the solution to my problem.

It's not the feature I'm looking for

That was the solution I was searching for; the problem was with your
first suggestion; Ignore font sizes....

Now Font Size in AB or IE working great.

Thanks a lot

Hi Den,

There sure is and it's real simple.

Hold the control key and use the middle mouse button to to scroll up
and down, insted of the page moving the fonts will get bigger and
smaller...
go get a scrolling mouse :)
