Make Print Larger On a Computer Screen ..

Eye fatigue is a blurry misery for seniors who attempt to read tiny print. It is easy to make print larger on a computer screen. Knowing how to increase text size is important .
(And saves going to spec savers )

Ctrl: While holding down the Control key (Ctrl), press the "plus" key one or more times. For Mac: use Command key. The control key is on the lower left-hand side of the keyboard.
Ctrl - : Press the minus key in the same fashion to make print smaller again.
Ctrl and Mouse: While holding down the Control key, roll the mouse wheel.

I find the easiest way is to hold down Ctrl, and roll the mouse wheel forwards, then backward to zoom out again.
