Increasing Text Size - aka ‘Zooming’

    If the text (or "font") size on SheepOverboard is too small - or too large - we recommend you use the browser’s built-in zoom.

    Modern browsers (Internet Explorer 7, FireFox 2, Opera 9) let you zoom in and out on a web page, enlarging text and graphics seamlessly.

    If your Internet browsing software does not support zooming, this is yet another strong reason to upgrade. (the others being security and usability)

    Enlarge

    • Mouse: Hold down the "Control" key [Ctrl] and roll the mouse wheel. Which direction to turn it is quickly found by trying one, then the other.

    • Keyboard**: Hold down the "Control" key [Ctrl] and press + ("plus") key

        Reduce

        • Mouse: In the same way you enlarged it, hold "Ctrl" key and roll the mouse wheel.

        • Keyboard**: Hold down "Ctrl" key and press - (minus)

            Return to normal (default)

            • Mouse: Varies, or none. (Opera - hold Ctrl key and click wheel like a button)

            • Keyboard**: Hold down "Ctrl" key and press O ("zero") (Except Opera**)

              **Exceptions

              Some software development teams mistakenly believe using non-standard keystrokes is a sign of individuality. To the rest of us, it’s an immediate reason to uninstall the bloody thing.

              Opera: Using the keyboard in Opera to change font size is brain damaging. Just use the mouse.

              Safari: Why am I not surprised? My first computer was an Apple. I’ve a soft spot for Apple and all it stands .. err, stood, for. But life’s now too short to waste on software teams who have lost the plot. Guys, it only has to surf the web.

              Image: Running the newly-installed Safari 3 on WinXP - as far as it gets.
