    Handy IE text size trick

    This may be common knowledge, but it is new to me. When using Internet Explorer, if you hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel it will increase or decrease the text size.

    You can also do <CTRL> plus or <CTRL> minus

    I find that gives me more precise control. The scroll wheel sometimes jumps 2 or 3 clicks.
    My equipment:

    Acer Aspire AX3300-U1322 Desktop (sorry didn't build this time!), 4Gb RAM, AMD Athlon II quad core CPU

    I didn't know that. Thank you very much for that tip. I usually sit about 6 feet away from my monitor so it will come in handy sometimes I'm sure.

    Works on most other sites, but only works on some of the VirtualDr page for me. Like the "I reject this reality & substitute my own" in Søul's post, the ad icons at the bottom and Search Virtual Dr. in the box at the top left. Maybe due to my turning off ActiveX?
