Depending on the duration of the scrolling, the text will increase several times. This is the easiest way to enlarge text.

Many beginners, especially the elderly, have poor computer skills. Sometimes a simple situation can "drive into a stupor", ruining the mood for the whole day.
For example: you have opened a website, and there is too small print. I would like to read the article, but nothing comes of it, the letters merge, my eyes are watering with tension. Familiar situation?
Today we will look at several ways to increase the size of letters. Choose the most suitable method.
How to enlarge letters on a computer screen
The fastest, easiest way to enlarge letters is to zoom in on the page using hotkeys or the mouse.
I describe the method of "hot" keys:
We press the button - "Ctrl", while holding it, press the button - "+" (plus). If this is not enough, click on the plus as many times as necessary.
To gradually decrease the scale, press "Ctrl" while pressing the "minus" - "-" key.
Return the scale to its original "default" state - press "Ctrl" and the zero key "0". You can enlarge the letters using the mouse
How to increase the font size on the computer screen using the mouse
Pressing the "Ctrl" key, scroll the mouse wheel. When you rotate the wheel away from you - the scale of the computer screen increases, visually "bringing closer" the text.
When you turn the wheel towards you, the screen scale decreases, "moves away" from you. Return to the "default" state - hold down "Ctrl" and press "0".
If you are visually impaired, you can enlarge the pages in your browser settings. Then you do not have to constantly resort to "hot" keys.
Changing the scale of Internet pages in the browser settings
All browsers have settings that can be adjusted. Usually the icon is at the top right. It can be an image of a wheel or a gear. Yandex browser - an icon of three horizontal stripes.
I'll tell you about the Yandex browser as an example. When you hover the mouse over the icon, a hint appears: "Yandex browser settings". Press the settings icon, select the "settings" item.
A new tab opens - the settings page. Scroll down the page, click the "Show advanced settings" button. Scrolling down the page a little more, we find "Web Content".
Here you will see what font sizes, page scale, are indicated by default. You can change the font size, zoom in on the page by specifying the desired value.
Press the button: "adjust fonts", set the maximum value, the minimum value of fonts. For example, I will set the maximum value to 16, and raise the minimum value to 10, since by default this value was 0. I will press the "done" button.
You can set the desired values, do not be afraid to experiment, you can always change the settings by returning the original position.
For example, let's take a look at how to increase font sizes - Google Chrome browser. At the top, to the right of the address bar, there is an icon - three vertically spaced dots. Hover over the cursor, read: "Setting and google management Chrome ". We press this icon.
A window drops out, we find the inscription "scale". Right in this window, you can adjust the desired scale by pressing the "plus" or "minus". After that, you no longer have to change the scale individual pages, it will be as it was installed once.
It is convenient, does not distract from work or reading, and your eyes do not get tired of the fact that on different sites the letters are different in size.
I think that now everyone understands the principle of changing the font size or page scale in the browser settings. Therefore, let's move on to other ways to enlarge the letters.

It has long been the main program for the average user. Now the browser is used not only for browsing the web, but also for sending mail, editing documents, reading books, etc.
In such a situation, it is often necessary to increase the font in the browser. After all, working with small text for a long time is rather tedious. In this article, we will talk about how to increase the font in google browser Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer and others.
It is best to use the keyboard to shrink or enlarge the font in the browser. There are keyboard shortcuts that work in Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer.
CTRL and the "+" key - by holding down the CTRL and "+" keys on you increase the font in the browser. In this case, the user can use the "+" key both on the main and on the additional (Num) keyboard.
CTRL and the "-" key - using the combination of keys CTRL and "-" you will reduce the font in the browser. The user can use the "-" key on both the main and additional keyboard.
CTRL and mouse wheel- you can hold down the CTRL key and move the mouse wheel. Thus, you can quickly reduce or increase the browser font to the size you need.
CTRL and the "0" key - this key combination is used to reset the page zoom in the browser. Using this combination, you will return to the original font size in the browser. The user can use the "0" (zero) key on both the primary and secondary keyboards. This key combination works in all popular browsers (Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera) except.
Other ways to enlarge the font in the browser
You can also increase the font using the browser menu.
In Google Chrome browserthis can be done in the main menu of the program. To do this, just open the main menu (the button in the upper right corner of the program) and click on the "+" button if you want to increase the font, or on the "-" button if you want to reduce the font.
IN opera browser the font is enlarged and reduced in the same way. Open the program menu (the "Opera" button in the upper left corner) and use the "+" and "-" buttons.
IN mozilla browser Firefox in order to decrease or increase the font, you must press the ALT button on the keyboard and after the menu appears, open the "View - Zoom". Here you can increase, decrease or reset the font size.
IN internet browser Explorer in order to decrease or increase the font, you need to open the main menu of the program (the button in the upper right corner of the program) and select the item "Scale".
Also, in Internet Explorer, you can press the ALT key and open "View - Zoom" in the menu that appears.
If you often have to peer and squint to read something on your computer, it makes sense to try changing the letter size. They can be either decreased or increased.
There are two options. The first changes the font size partially, in certain programs. For example, in a program for the Internet (browser) or in a program for printing text ( Microsoft Word).
The second option is more significant - they will be resized everywhere. On your computer screen, in all programs, in the Start button, in folders, and in many other places.
How to resize letters in certain programs (partially)
In many computer programs in which you can open and read some text, you can increase or decrease its size. This is actually a rescaling, not an edit to the file itself. Roughly speaking, you can simply zoom in or, on the contrary, zoom out the text without changing it.
How to do it . The most common way is to find this function in a separate program. But this is not very convenient and not always easy. Therefore, there is an alternative "fast" option that works in most computer programs.
Press one of the CTRL keys on the keyboard and, without releasing it, scroll the wheel on the mouse. Each such scroll increases or decreases the text by 10-15%. If you "turn" the wheel towards yourself, then the font size will decrease, and if away from you, it will increase.
Once the size suits you, release the CTRL key. Thus, you will fix the result and return the previous functions to the wheel on the mouse.
By the way, instead of a wheel, you can use the + button to increase and - to decrease. That is, hold down CTRL, then press and then release the + or - key on the keyboard. One such press changes the size by 10-15%.
A few examples... Let's say I often use the Internet to find information - I read news and articles. On different resources, the size of the text is different - it depends only on the site itself.
For the most part, the size of the letters suits me, and I do not experience any discomfort when reading. But sometimes I come across sites on which the font is very small for me - I have to lean close to the screen, squint. This is inconvenient and not useful.
In such cases, you can quickly enlarge the font. I hold down the Ctrl button on the keyboard and scroll the mouse wheel several times, thereby changing the size of the text.
This works in 90% of cases: on websites, in mail, in social networks... You can check it yourself by increasing the font size in the article you are currently reading.
By the way, to return to the original size, you need to hold down the Ctrl button on your keyboard and then press the key with the number 0 once. However, this "return" does not work in all programs, but only in browsers.
Another example. Let's say I am printing a document in microsoft program Word. The text in it should be of a certain size, but for me it is too small. I cannot simply increase the font in the program itself - this will violate the design rules, and working with such small text is a torment.
By holding down the Ctrl key and turning the wheel on the mouse, I can zoom in on the document. Thus, I will simply bring him closer to me, but I will NOT change. The text will remain the same size, but I will see it enlarged.
The same goes for photographs and pictures that we open on a computer. In exactly the same way they can be "brought closer" or "removed".
Important! Some programs remember the size that has been adjusted. That is, having opened something else in such a program, it will immediately be shown in a resized size.
Therefore, do not be alarmed if a document, book or page on the Internet opens in a non-standard size - too large or too small. Just change it in the same way (CTRL and mouse wheel).
How to change font size on computer (everywhere)
You can increase or decrease the font not only in individual programs, but throughout the entire computer at once. In this case, all the labels, icons, menus and much more will also change.
I'll show you with an example. Here is a typical computer screen:
And this is the same screen, but with an increased font size:
To get this look, you just need to change one setting in the system. If you suddenly don't like the result, you can always return everything as it was in the same way.
