    Hello. As I type this it is very small and difficult to read, my kitten is obsessed with my laptop and keeps walking across & lies down on the keyboard. Forgive me if I have any typos because the font is currently very small. Every web page is shrunken and all text is very tiny. Please help me go back to normal size!! I have hit view and chosen medium or large test size.. no help. Not sure what the cat hit or what to do to fix it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

    First Welcome to Computer Help Forums!! :)

    Have a look at the lower right corner of your browser window and make sure it is set at least to 100% That is a simple one to change by a randy pawing on the keyboard. Let us know if that works so we can look for another solution in case it does not.

    Hi lissal221

    As BeeCeeBee has already said, but the keyboard short cuts are,
    Using the numbers on the keyboard, above the letters not the number pad

    Ctrl - Zoom out
    Ctrl + Zoom in

    Ctrl 0 Reset to 100%

    :)

    Well, that was worth reading. I didn't remember the Ctrl-0 [zero] command - maybe I never knew it?

    On my computer the Number Pad works for all three commands.


    Incidentally, holding the Ctrl button down and spinning the mouse wheel changes sizes, too

    .:)

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Of course if you don't want to do any of that you can just go to the small arrow next to the percentage in the screenshot above and set the % by yourself.
