Dear MSErs

Does anyone know how to increase the size of the adress space where you type internet site addresses?

I am trying to help my mum to you the internet however she has trouble seeing the space to write in as it is very small - I need to be able to increase the font size I think, however do not know how to

Thank you

I don't think you can change the font size of just the address bar in Internet Explorer, however other browsers based on IE may be able to do so, e.g. AvantBrowser, Slimbrowser etc - have a Google.

One simple way to make the address bar font appear bigger and therefore easier to read is to reduce the size of your screen resolution, but note that this will affect font sizes used by all programs. To do this right-click an empty part of the Desktop, click Properties, then Settings tab and slide the Screen resolution to Less. Click Apply and then Yes to accept the new resolution or No to revert to the current settings. Have IE open whilst you do this so that you can see the effect of different screen resolutions.

You can drag & drop any of the toolbars.

Right click on any unoccupied area of the toolbars & ensure "lock the toolbars" is unticked

To the left of the address space there should be a vertical bar.

If you hover the mouse over it the mouse pointer should change to 2 arrows pointing left & right.

Left click (and hold) the mouse and move the address space downwards.

If you drag ir below the links toolbar it should go the full width of the screen

Right click & tick the "lock the toolbars"
