    Default Help! Size of letters

    My old computer is running XP with Firefox as it's browser. It was getting so slow that I finally refreshed the browser. I use to be able to see the entire page in much larger print. I have check with Firefox setting the lettering but still tiny print on QB. I went thru and tried a few items on my setting on QB but still the tiny print which I can't hardly read it. Can anyone help?? At least I got Ad Blocker to work again.

    If you hold down the control key and press the "+" key, it will enlarge the screen to whatever size you like, regardless of application.

    Thanks for the tip about the "plus" button, it worked on my Mac with the command key!

    Same process works in reverse with the minus key as well. Gotta love old-school computering! I'm an old DOS baby and still love my keyboard shortcuts versus buttons and icons. Just like F7 is usually spell check; F12 save as; CTL c for copy; CTL v for paste; just to name a few. Quicker for me to do those keystrokes than reach for a mouse.
