Question Internet Explorer-can I change font size ?

I only use Microsoft IE for a couple of non apple supported sites.

Is it possible to make the font size on IE just a little larger ( makes it easier for the old eyes to read ) and if so, what is the process. I can do the Page headings in the blue bar but need to change the written text.

Thanks

Not sure what you're asking. Do you mean change the actual html code to display larger fonts, or change the way that internet explorer displays them?

If the latter, you can do this simply by holiding the ctrl and moving the mouse wheel up / down, or the old fashioned way by using the drop down menus (in ie6) to set the text size, or by using the zoom control (bottom right corner) in ie7.

Sorry, I'll try again.

I want the letter size on the page I am reading to be larger so it is easier to read. The system has IE7 and I use it so it fills the screen ( drag bottom right corner ).

Does this make sense now ?

Thanks

Why not just use the zoom control then. You can zoom the page (i.e. the size of the letters etc) anything up to 400% of their original size. It's the control in the bottom right hand corner of the browser window.
