Make the Print Larger on a Computer Screen

This tutorial is intended for novice computer users.

Whether you are trying to view a body of text without unnecessary scrolling or adjusting of the text or you are over the hill or close to it or just cannot clearly see small print increasing the size of print on any computer is quite simple. To begin realize that the size of print is not necessarily linked to your OS and an undesired size of print is not a means for alarm. Here is a basic guide explaining how to increase or decrease print size.

Steps

  1. Determine what program or application is hosting the text you are trying to read. (ex. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Adobe Acrobat Reader, etc)
  2. Locate the view menu within the program. If you don't know where this is find the file menu, or any other menu within the program usually they are near each other.
  3. Find the zoom option and either zoom in or zoom out. That's it. Alternatively try pressing Ctrl+(+/-). That's it, zoom in or out to suite your needs.
  4. Enjoy the information at your fingertips.



Tips

  • If you are unfamiliar with a program feel free to click around, try different features within the program. The best way to learn program interfaces are trial and error. Just look around, you aren't going to mess anything up or leave a program inoperable. These interfaces are created by humans to be used by humans, ease of navigation is a goal of almost every software developer..
