Computer aid!?! - Larger Type (MS Word and Internet Explorer - at least)
///////////////////////////////
Does it seem like every document or web page you open has smaller text then the last? If your mouse of choice has a wheel ("wheel mouse"), you may be in luck. In at least Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer, this trick works like a dream (most of the time): When you want to see the text larger on a page or document you are viewing, be sure your mouse pointer is somewhere on the "page" in question, hold down your control key and move your wheel away from you (while holding the mouse still). This should zoom the text in direct relation to how far you move the wheel. The reverse is true if moving the wheel toward you. Try this in your favorite program - it might work there too!

Note: All references to
"click" are using the left mouse button unless otherwise noted.
