Text on certain web pages can be either too small or too big. Using either Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer, you have control over this potential problem using the font size command.

These font adjustments don’t have to be absolute. Change them as the need arises since there is a large disparity in the way web sites are formatted.

In Internet Explorer, change the font size by:

1. Click on View from the menus
2. Click on Text Size
3. Click on any of the options listed (from smallest to largest)

In Netscape Communicator, change the font size by:

1. Click on Edit from the menus
2. Click on Preferences
3. Click on Fonts under the Appearance section on the left
4. Change the font size for both the variable width and and fixed Width font
5. Click OK

With Netscape, you can also control font display size by clicking on the View menu and then Increase font or Decrease font options. Or on the keyboard using: Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ respectively on the keyboard.
