If you are looking at a picture or just writing on the screen and you can't read it

hold down on the conrol key plus the plus sign and it will enlarge the screen, keep clicking until you can see it

then to make it smaller again you just hold down the control key with the minus sign

Enjoy!

This is so cool when you want to see a close up look on the quilts etc.

I hope you enjoy this cool feature!

It sounds great, but how will it work on a keyboard without numbers, i.e. laptops and netbooks? I have some numbers in grey writing on my netbook keyboard (and plus and minus) but I have no idea how to make them work. Ancient and computerly challenged!

GREAT thank you! Not the only thing I dont know about computers.............

try holding down the control and plus sign at the same time to make the screen bigger

and then hold down the control button and minus sign to make it smaller

or you could just hold the control key and use the wheel on you mouse to do the same thing ;)

I used to teach computers ... I think I've probably forgotten more than I remember :)
