Hello,
I sometimes find the small print on my pc screen difficult to read (I'm
getting old). Is there a magnifying glass tool anywhere that I can drag
around across the screen to magnify the bits of text I want to read ?
Thanks

Also bear in mind that many (but not all) applications (whether or not
by Microsoft) follow the Windows standard of changing the size of the
text you see by holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling the mouse
wheel. One direction makes the text bigger, the other smaller.

Hi,
This is another feature of windows I didn't even know existed. I also see
that shift_mousewheel goes back & forth between recent IE windows. Is there
a list of these tricks anywhere ? it makes me realise how little I know
Thanks again
K

Personally, I have the mouse's wheel acting as a third button turned
off, so I don't do things like that. If the mouse wheel also acts as a
button, I find that I too often press it accidentally when scrolling.

You're welcome. Glad to help. I'm sure there are web sites which list
"tricks," but I don't frequent them and can't point you to one.
Someone else will probably answer and provide you with a link or
links.
