Spin your text size

You have browsed to a great web page, but the text is not the best size for you to comfortably view the page. What to do; what to do. If the web page author used "relative" sizes for fonts you can use many web browsers to increase or decrease font size and you can use your wheel mouse to do it quickly.

Just hold down on the "Control" key, then spin the mnouse wheel for ward or backward to change the font size. If your browser supports this feature yet the fonts don't change size, the web page author chose to specify a fixed font size (boo!).

Don't have a wheel mouse? Consider adding the "Text size" icon to your browser's toolbar. Firefox also lets you use Control+minus and Control+plus keys to do the same thing.
