Need to make print bigger !

mary-op

I need to make the text I type a bigger size..........eyes not so good as they were despite specs
Can't for the love of me remember how I did it last time

Would help if you told us what program you are using-MS Word?

well its either right click>text properties or select the text then click on the options tab.

I'm as blind as a bat, on my computer i have 'view' on the toolbar, if you click that you should be able to 'zoom in'.
I use it for writing and reading.

Thanks -I've got Microsoft Office but its only just now the prints sort of shrunk ! I must have touched something on the keyboard thats made it happen -only thing I can think of.
I've been to 'Computer' section of my lap top and text size is marked as Medium, which is what I'd done but on this site its gone very small...........
Forgive me for not explaining very well.........bit of a dunce with this tech stuff I'm afraid.

Are you talking about viewing text in your web browser (as you would when reading/posting to this board), or typing text into MS Word to create a text document?
Your first post said 'need to make the text I type bigger' so I assumed you were talking about the latter? If you mean the former, please advise what web browser you are using?

You may need the formatting toolbar which will then give you the option to enlarge the text. Try View > Toolbars > Formatting.

Sorry I'm so vague.
Its for internet - I've got Google

My tool bar doesn't have much stuff on it and I'll have to try and find the bits you mean - can't find anything that says 'view'.

Oh dear -theres a Tools thing on the right hand side -I'll have a look there Oh I do feel stupid

If text needs to be larger for reading posts on forums, for example, go to View, Text Size, and choose Largest.

Alternatively, you could 'restore' to before the problem initially occurred.

Good luck

Do you mean you are using the Google Chrome browser?
Or are you using (as I suspect) Internet Explorer with Google as your home page?

Internet Expllorer and Google home page.........managed to sort something out by doing the 'zooming' - least I can see what I'm doing better.
Now its the tool bar to put stuff on it.
Think I'll have a coffee now...........phew !!

Thanks folks for being so patient with a novice.

Hope this solves my problem till I can get it sorted properly
