Default Novice question about screen size

When I look at websites they take up too much space on my screen. The start display is fine but if I look at SN for example it is just too big to fit the screen??

I haven't altered anything.

So how do I fix this? I have gone into Control Panel -> Display Setting -> Advanced and changed DPI setting but this then reduces start display to a small size I can't read.

I know there is a simple answer but what is it?

If you are refering to the content being too big in the browser, you could try zooming out of the page. eg, in internet explorer, click on View > Zoom and change to the percentage of zoom or holding down the Ctrl key and pressing + or - keys to adjust zoom.

Ctrl + 0 will usually reset the zoom back to 'normal'.

Perfect


Thanks for that.

Where can I find a list of all these keyboard tricks?
