Tech Tip for Writers #4: Zoom In and Out
Tech Tips for Soon-to-be Great Writers
Tech Tips for Writers is an (almost) weekly post on overcoming Tech Dread. I'll cover issues that friends, both real-time and virtual, have shared. Feel free to post a comment about a question you have. I'll cover it in a future Tip.
Q: I can't read my internet screen. And I can't find the zoom in command.
A: Hold down the Ctrl key and push (next to the backspace key). That zooms in. To zoom out, hold down Ctrl and push the – (the minus sign next to the number zero; also considered a dash). Or hold the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel.
Questions you want answered? Leave a comment here and I'll answer it within the next thirty days.
