You can also use the Ctrl button with + or - keys if you don't have a rolling wheel. Plus to increase the size and minus to take it back.

On the Mac I use, hold down the key that has the apple on it (next to the space bar) and the + key (= key) key at the same time to enlarge it. (Don't use "shift", just press the = key)

To make it smaller, press the key that has the apple on it (next to the space bar) and the - key at the same time

This is easier than clicking on Edit, View, then increasing the viewing size, which does the same thing.
