Computer Tips 101

Computer Tips 101

I was sitting in a free class at the local community college last week when one of the students shouted from the back row to the instructor that she could increase the size of the text display (which no one could read) on the computer projection on the board if she pressed the Ctrl button key and scroll wheel on her mouse at the same time.

I have a mouse with a little button on the left (thumb) which allows me to create a locked size zoom window (does not increase resolution) so I though that I would never use this computer tip. However on small text the Ctrl/scroll does seem to increase the readability of the text over the button alone.

Try it on this website:
StereoTimes --

I'm still not sure how to return to my normal screen size. I've been closing the window or site and restarting Firefox for now.

Your old eyes will thank me for this tip.

What is your computer tip?




EDIT: from another forum...........

Ctrl 0 will reset to normal
