makeing emails larger
having trouble reading your emails. Well if you have a scroll wheel mouse then when you in you email hit CTRL and scoll the wheel towards you and the print will become bigger away from you it becomes smaller

Thanks but it does not work with Thunderbird or it my be my mouse that just scrolls the page still.
But if I hold down the CTRL key and click on the - or + I can make the font smaller or larger.

Also you can get this Extensions Text size toolbar that I use that works great. You click one to make it bigger and the other to make it smaller with each click and then the one on the right gives you back your default.
Works on Firefox and Thunderbird and I use it a lot.

On webpages you can hit Ctrl and scroll and it will make the text larger/smaller. In FF you can also click Ctrl > +/= to make the text larger, Ctrl > -/_ to make it smaller and Ctrl > 0/) to make it normal.

Ctrl and scroll and it will make the text larger/smaller does not work on netscape or firefox.
I know how it works on netscape or firefox but you know what? He hee never did the Ctrl > 0/) to make it normal so learned something.

And with WinME and I.E.6 the Ctrl (hold down) & using the scroll-wheel works with the text in a Word Pad document.

Thanks, lexmarks567

On my mouse I have the scroll up and down and side to side.
But also have it set up so if I press down on the scroll wheel that it can zoom in and out.
Works in my images programs and .doc files but not notepad.
