Answer 1

In Internet Explorer versions 5 and 6, choose View > Text size and then select an option from the pop-up list. You can choose from Largest, Large, Medium, Small and Smaller. The default setting is Medium.

Answer 2

Hello,

some 'lower class' sites can use, especially for headings, pictures as text. your browser cannot tell the difference between this picture containing text and the picture next to it with a dog in it!!!

try using Internet explorer 7 because it will, instead of changing font sizes zoom into sites - including pictures.

I am noticing that the size is different between Windows 98 and XP, but if you want to make the size larger, click on VIEW, then on TEXT SIZE then click the larger size for you.

The easiest way is to just hold down the "ctrl" key and tap the "+" key to what you like. You can also decrease it by just tapping the "- " key.
