When you encounter a screen with a font that's too small, you can easily adjust. The method you use to make a font bigger might depend on how long you want the text to be a different size or which program you're using. The steps you need to take vary depending on your computer's operating system.
Follow the steps below that apply to the OS you're using. Some applications let you adjust the zoom level with your keyboard. This works in web browsers, Microsoft Office programs, and other software. The plus and minus buttons are in the top-right corner of the main set of keys. If you also hold down Option , only the font size will change, not the size of images. Another way to change the font size on your Windows computer is through settings that affect the whole operating system.
Doing this won't change the text size in all programs but it will make menus and other buttons easier to read. These directions are different depending on the version of Windows you're using:.
In Windows 10, scroll down to the Scale and layout section and select the menu next to the text that says Change the size of text, apps, and other items. In Windows 8 and 7, select Display on the bottom left. In Windows 10, choose a zoom level. In Windows 8, adjust the slider to make text and other items larger or smaller. There's also a Change only the text size option at the bottom of this page that you can modify to make title bars, menus, icons, and other items larger or smaller.
In Windows 7, choose a different zoom level, either Smaller , Medium , or Larger. If you ever need to reverse these steps, just return to the above settings and make the change there. To temporarily make everything on the screen larger, including images, videos, menu items, text, etc. The best way to make text easier to read on your Mac is to adjust it within each app you're using. You can also change the font size for desktop icons by right-clicking the desktop and choosing Show View Options.
Move the Icon size slider to the right, and choose Text size to pick a different text size. Something else you can try if the other methods aren't working to increase the font size on your Mac is to adjust your computer's screen resolution:. From the main Apple menu, select System Preferences. Choose Displays and then Display. Select Scaled and then choose a lower resolution. Web browsers have built-in zoom settings, too, so that you can change the font size on just the one website you're on.
STEP 1: To access the magnifier tool, simply click the start menu. Type the word magnifier into the search box. You can avoid having to do these steps each time by "pinning" the magnifier tool to your taskbar the bar across the very bottom of your computer screen or the Start Menu.
I recommend the Taskbar for easier use. To "Pin" this tool, simply right-click the highlighted magnifier bar. A pop-up window will appear. Choose "Pin to taskbar" or "Pin to start menu". Q: How do I turn the magnifier off? Press the minus button to return the screen to it's normal size, and press the plus button to enlarge again. If long hours in front of a computer display are causing eye strain, adjusting the monitor's display might make it easier to see and work with.
Windows 7 gives you two options for increasing the screen display. Changing your screen resolution to a smaller size will make everything in the display appear bigger, but most monitors have a native, recommended resolution at which the display is optimized, so changing the resolution could produce undesirable results. One option is to magnify the display to accomplish a similar effect without changing the resolution.
However, this option requires you to log off before changes come into effect, which makes it less useful for quick, on-the-fly display changes. Right-click an empty area of the desktop and select "Screen Resolution.
