Quick and easy way to change the text size in internet explorer.

Many web sites do not specify what size of font the user must use. On these sites, one can easily change the font size to improve viewer comfort. I’ll describe the long way first and then the quick way.

This method has been tested in all versions of IE including IE9.

Change the Text Size via the Menu:

1. Click on View in the IE menu. First, you may need to press the alt key is the menu is not visible.
2. Goto Text Size
3. Select the font size desired

Jedi Ninji Shortcut way:

Just hold the CTRL key and scroll your mouse wheel up and down. If the web site allows it, you will see the fonts get bigger or smaller.
