Danalana replied: Maybe under tools? I have vista, but I know very little...

Kaitlin'smom replied: my laptop seems okay but we just got it at work and its all weird.

coasterqueen replied: Go to View, then click on text size.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I tried that but nothing happened still the same size even if I pick largest.

coasterqueen replied:
Did you close out of IE after you did that? It seemed like when I did it and then closed out it changed, but I can't be sure.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I will try that as well

Teesa®© replied: I don't know if this works in Vista, I'm thinking it's a browser thing regardless of what O/S you have, but hold down your CTRL key while scrolling your mouse wheel down. Down makes text bigger whereas up makes it smaller.

Hope that works for you.

coasterqueen replied:
Let me know. I've been playing around w/it here and it's working for me.

Kaitlin'smom replied: it works for some things but not others....how weird is that?

coasterqueen replied:
Hmm, that it weird. I wonder if there is some kind of coding in the webpages that allow text change, maybe? Although every webpage I've designed I've never seen that.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
PC is one I cant seem to change......a work one is another one.

coasterqueen replied:
Yes, PC is one I couldn't get to change either, but all others I tried worked. Very weird.

If the text changes on some websites but not others, it is the coding on the website. They used style sheets to ensure that the text does not change in size on the website to prevent it from changing the look of the website. There's no setting you can do to change the text on this particular website regardless of what system you are on. The reason it may look different on your laptop and your PC is the resolution of your monitor is probably different.

coasterqueen replied:
Interesting to know. Thank you, Dee Dee.

Kaitlin'smom replied: thanks Dee Dee, its just weird cause I have the same resolution as the old computer yet some things look so different.

MommyToAshley replied:
It depends on the native resolution of that monitor (especially if it is an LCD or laptop). Websites will look better in the native resolution of the monitor. So, if you changed it to the same resolution as your other monitor, then it will not look the same. Did that make sense? Does the text look choppy? If so, that's a definite sign you are not in the LCD's native resolution.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
its the same monitor.... thats why I found it so strange.
