Hi Tricia Click on View up at the top and then Text Size. Then chose the text size that you want Jeanette x

I'm just laughing at your reply Tricia....I couldn't see 'view' either....I was looking at the top of the Genes site, were you? Jean

View is usually one of the drop-down menus to the right of File and Edit. At least it is if you are using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Opera. Safari, I don't know about. If you are using the AOL browser, however, View does not appear. I recommend Launching IE, changing the settings on IE using the view menu, and then re-launching AOL and hope that that cures the problem... Gordon

And here is a tip from the AOL help page: > If your mouse has a scrollwheel on top, you can quickly > change the font size of a Web page you're currently viewing by > holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling the mouse wheel > forwards (to make the text smaller) or backwards (to make the > text larger). If only my mouse had a scrollwheel, I'd give it a go! Gordon

Gordon Report 29 May 2006 01:38

I would have thought that that would be the case, but AOL behaves so wierdly for me at times, that nothing would surprise me! Gordon
