For many computer users, viewing some web sites can be frustrating because text tends to be too small. Since many of you might be using Internet Explorer 7, take advantage of the improved zoom functuon in it. To access the zoom function:

1. Click Page from the menu in the upper right of the screen

2. Click Zoom from the menu

3. Choose a Zoom value from the options (I recommend trying the 125% first and then move up from there)

Because of the method used to create some web sites, zooming can distort some features on the site. It isn't a perfect solution for zooming hard to read sites, but works well enough to reduce some eye strain. Also, search our sight for 'magnifier' for a couple of other screen magnification options.
